With a bit of finish, the clock will be complete and ready for use.  For the hub, I wanted to retain the whiteness of the holly, so I finished it with some matte finish water-borne poly.  You can't really tell it has any finish on it.

The cherry spikes I wanted darker, so they received an application of Rubio Monocoat pure and then a coat of Sheen Plus.

Finally, I could install the clock mechanism attach the back panel.

Before applying finish to the hands, I couldn't resist another dry fit.

I applied Rubio Monocoat to the hands, too.  I lost a little bit of contrast as the minute hand gray darkened a bit.  I probably should have gone with the poly instead.  But I know that it's one of those things that I notice now and then very little in the future.

I displaced a mirror to do a test mount on an existing screw in the wall.  I think this might be where it stays. 

I think this was only my second ever clock project.  The first was one of those resin coated slab clocks that I built for my grandparents back when I was in high school.  This projects was more challenging, and I really enjoyed it.  Thanks for following along!
