I do use the picture for my first thoughts then my mind starts changing things. Not on purpose though.

I did want it to look old so the reason for a few different colors...It would hard to match it .

 

I tell my wife, when you see the second hand on then I consider it finished..  But wait.,,I have those 11 flowers to mount somewhere...

   The first few coats were gloss then the last coat was semi-gloss .

I do like my finishes to be smooth for everyone who walks up to it touches it and I like that smile that forms on  their face..

   I did learn about the paper dial I printed on from the internet.....It will wrinkle up when spraying around the edges of the wood it is glued to...Next time I will wait till all the finishing is complete before attaching the dial . I will also check to see if my printer will work with a white bendable plastic for I do know it has to bend around the rollers in the printer..

  I think the water stain was the culpert that caused the wrinkle but some of it disappeared as it dried..

I think I like it without the flowers, but, that's just me.

Lew that might have been why I left them off.  Kinda like that song, My mind tells me no. The four flowers holding the dial is still there. Just can't see them head on.

 

If I sent them to Gene for his head band do you think he would be offended???

I like it without the flowers, although I am sure you could fit them in so they look good.

 

I use Rock Paper Scissors Sticky paper for my printed dials.
