ooking at
the simple lines,
grace-
ful
proportions,
and
figured
grain
of
this clock's
quartersawn
oak,
it's easy to see
why mission-style
pieces
are so admired.
To help
you
achieve
the
same
results, see the
Buying
Guide
for a
source of
quartersawn
oak, the
clock
movement, and
the mica back
for the
clock's
grille.
"Mica"
is a
general
term for a
group
of
more than 30 slightly different
silicate minerals. Commonly
known
for their
translucent
properties,
micas are commercially
used
in
decorative applications such
as
lampshades, ceiling
panels,
and
the
grille
back
in
our shelf
clock.
Mica typically
is mined in chunks
that
get
split
and further
processed
into films, flakes,
and
powders
for
various uses.
Fabricated mica
sheets,
like those used
in this
clock,
get
formed by combining
mica
flakes with binding resins of
contrasting colors.
