Do you plan to just use the pressed wood carvings for inspiration then carve your own in real wood? How long have you been collecting those? 

Gene this was how I did most all the clocks when I first started in 2016 when the carving hit me...I could lay these out on the 20 x 30 graph paper and trace around them and carve the maple wood for it was thicker and maybe looked better? places like D Lawless Hardware use to have lots of the pressed wood stuff but haven't visited any of those places for a few years now..I can get lots of pictures to use off of Pinterest and put them on Rapid Resizer and only use a small portion of a bunch of stuff to get the areas filled in to suit.. Lots of times I could only get one carving but then have Rapid resizer to flip it to get equally sided clocks.. A person can usually find a way if he looks long enough...

   I'm building these bodys so I can cut the carvings up and have a flat piece behind the carving to glue all the pieces back together. I have decided its way quicker to carve small pieces than one large side .
