Well I managed to get the lathe going again with lots of fiddling, it still has to have the pulley rotated to slow down but at least its going.
I ordered a couple of clock inserts to try from turners retreat and combined one with a piece of rottenish apple crotch,from a dead stump that I pulled out from a customers lawn by hand(rotten). The bark was too flakey so had to come off. The only finish is two coats of undiluted cellulose SS, applied by hand.I thought the shininess of the clock went well with the sheen of the SS finish.
