Handturned Point Betsie Clockhouse (Michigan)

Well, it's finally complete. Near complete actually, it hasn't been glued together yet. This photo shows Point Betsie as best as I could possibly get to scale. Produced from Ebony, Holly, and Bloodwood with painted stainless rails and steeple. Ebony was just a little too brittle to turn to 1/16". It stands about 15" tall with a 5.5" base. Holly tower is approxiamtely 3" diameter. Ebony windows, per customer's request, were fitted into mortises and then turned until flush. Sealed with Myland's friction polish, 3-5 coats.
