Layered Wall Clock
Cut multiple wood circles (6 in., 5 in., 4 in.) from contrasting woods and stack them with thin spacers for a stepped, modern clock face. The pilot bit keeps layers centered and the positive-lock mandrel minimizes wobble for crisp edges. Drill the center for a clock movement, finish, and hang.
Cedar Herb Wall
