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.
