BLUEBIRD CLOCK

[Leroy A. Eckert]

Anyone out there with a BB clock? If you would give me a measurement
from the nose of the bird to the end of the lower tail it would be
appreciated. Also, does the movement protrude out the back of the
wood? If so how far?
I cut a prototype today out of 3/4" thick wood and it is 19" long by
6" high. It will accept a 2 3/4" to 3" quality quartz movement in the
wing. My prototype is made from white pine and the original will be
blonde. I plan to make 7 prototypes to see what I can do with them. I
will use red oak on others and I plan to prime, base coat and clear
coat some of the pine to see what happens. I don't have anything else
to do. Colors I am considering are rose,lagoon, black, red and blue. I
may air brush one in a bluebird style and see how that goes. I would
clear coat that one. I would like to put a chime movement in one of
them but it may need to be larger because of constraints in the size
if available dials.

All are being hand made.
Thanks for any info.
