LOEW-CORNELL - The Official Brush of "Scrolling & Toling"!

INSTRUCTIONS

Cut the clock

Transfer pattern to your wood. Drill a 1-3/8"-Dia. mounting hole for the mini clock movement. Begin sawing the interior details by first drilling starter holes in the waste areas and cutting the interior areas to shape, then proceeding with the exterior cuts.

When the upright is complete, cut the base to shape. Tilt your saw table to bevel the edge 10 to 15 degrees. Attach the upright to the base with glue (see Fig. 1).

Painting preparation

Before painting your clock, thoroughly sand the upright and the base, using a tack cloth to remove any residue. Apply wood primer spray to the piece, then sand and wipe with the tack cloth again.

Paint the clock

Paint the entire base Dark Forest Green. Let dry thoroughly, then lightly sand.

Apply one coat of Cloudberry Tan to all of the branches. While still wet, pick up a small amount of Spice Brown and blend on the right and underside of each branch. Basecoat the circular area around the clock cutout with Dusty Mauve.

Load the angular shader with Wedgewood Green and Dark Forest Green. Starting at the center of each leaf, pivot brush, keeping the Dark Forest Green in the center and allowing the Wedgewood Green to fan out along the outside leaf edges (see Fig. 2).

Allow all paint to dry thoroughly. Following the manufacturer's instructions and referring to Fig. 3, apply the gold foil. When dry, apply varnish of choice, then insert the clock face.
