The farmhouse style wall clock stencil can also be used to create farmhouse style wall clocks. There are various stencils available that use reclaimed wood. The advantage of using a reclaimed wood clock stencil is that there are no insect eggs in the wood. Reclaimed wood has an exotic grain pattern that is attractive. The use of a farmhouse style stencil helps to create a beautiful natural looking farmhouse style wall clock.
Wood is always more expensive than metal, but it is less costly than stone. The process of creating farmhouse clock stencils is quite simple. First the stencil is cut out to the desired size with a wood coping tool. Second, the piece of wood is sanded to remove any excess material and then painted with a primer solution.
After painting the piece of wood with a primer solution it is pre-drilled for the spindle joints and thumb screws. Next, a brass or bronze screw is placed into the center of the farmhouse clock face so that the brass or bronze thumb screws can be kept on the wooden spindle joints. The wood spindle is then drilled and a small amount of wood glue is added to the end of the joint to help keep it in place.
When the piece of wood has been drilled and the screws have been placed through the holes the next step is to apply the paint. The paint should cover all of the exposed areas of the wood. The area that is not covered is then covered with a rustic farmhouse clock stencil. A rubber ink pen is used to create a thin border around the stencil. Once the farmhouse wall clock stencil is dry, the wood is then ready to be painted.
Before painting the entire farmhouse clock the clock face is first sanded and then the surface is prepped by using a hard bristle paint brush. Then the wood is coated with an oil base coat so that the wood will be protected from any moisture. Next, an oil based paint is brushed on using a stencil brush. The farmhouse clock is then sprayed with a second coat of oil based paint. After the final coat of oil based paint is applied the stencil is allowed to dry. A third coat of wood stain is brushed on and then finally the clock is allowed to dry completely.
In order to clean the farmhouse style wall clock properly it is necessary to use mild cleaners. These are usually citrus based and can be found in most home improvement stores or local hardware stores. When the clock face has completely dried, it can then be painted with a water based acrylic paint. Wood stain should be applied to the clock once again to allow the wood to weather and seal properly. Finally, any extra cracks in the wood can be filled in with black sand.
