This clock is a round slice of a log about an inch and a half thick sanded smooth then drilled to put a quarts clock movement into it. There are little flat moose figures at twelve, three, six, and nine, and little straight lines for the other numbers.

This is a stand for an Intel digital reader for blind and low vision persons. The base of the stand is a piece of oak faced 3/4 inch plywood 18 by 14 and a half inches. The corners have been rounded off with approximately a one and a half inch radius. The vertical piece that supports the camera holder is made of two pieces of 3/4 oak that were ripped down to 2 and 3/4 inches and glued together. The bottom was cut off at an angle of 14 degrees to place the camera holder over the center of the sheet. The other end of the vertical piece was cut at an angle of 76 degrees to give it a vertical face to which to fasten the camera holder. The vertical piece was fastened to the plywood sheet with pocket hole screws, two on each side. The screw holes were covered with two pieces of 3/4 inch oak that were ripped down to 2 inches wide. They are approximately 6 inches long. Both ends were cut at 14 degrees so the top edge of these decorative pieces are parallel to the base. The camera holder was made out of 1/2 inch oak which I had to buy. A groove was routed in the inside near the bottom of each piece to hold a 1/4 inch bottom piece. Much of this piece had to be drilled and chiseled away to allow the lens, laser, and flash, to see out of the bottom of the holder. There are also cooling vents, a USB plug for a thumb drive, a small USB for connection to a computer, and a place to plug in the charger. All edges, except the plywood, were eased using a round over bit in the router table. The plywood was edged with iron-on oak veneer. The wood in Ron's house is dark so I finished it with a varnish stain combination. Water born poly urethane and dark walnut stain.
