Bee Clock

(1/2) > >>

Lone:
I've just finished a bee clock for the mates in town who've helped me with my bees.  I also sneaked some capilano honey in with their groceries at the checkout one time and they didn't realise they'd paid for it till they got home, so I had to make up for that one.

I'm not sure if this is in the right section, but I did use beeswax around the inlay.

Hi Lone, Nice clock. :lol:
BTW did you mean that you put  the honey into their groceries, so you could eat it? :evil:
or was it to be a gift? :-D

JP:
Nice Job Lone!

Lone:
Thanks.  Rob, Capilano is a kind of generic mixed honey from a co-op, and I put it in with their groceries as a joke when I saw them at Woolies.  When they got home their kids asked why they had capilano in the cupboard, and they thought it belonged to the next person in the queue and was mistakenly mixed with their groceries - till I 'fessed up.

By the way, I think the wood in the clock is red cedar from the Atherton Tablelands.  Someone gave me a stick of timber a little while ago.  Only one bee was hurt or maimed in the making of it.  And the inlay still ended up looking like a blowfly.

Yappy:
OK Lone, Good joke.  :evil:
fyi - Capilano  is the River that serves as the main water supply for Vancouver, BC. AND
Red Cedar is a local tree here, The natives use it for Totem Poles and Masks etc.
AND I am building my first TBH out of it.
Have you used Red Gum Tree for art-crafts?
 I saw some tables that were very beautiful from  Red Gum, Very expensive too!
