Tennis Anyone?

I love tennis. I play five days a week during the summer and watch as many professional games as I can. Consequently, over the years, I've collected a lot of tennis racquets.  Since my local tennis group was about to have a tournament and I was part of the concession group, I decided to use one of the old rackets to build a clock.

Here's what the process yielded.









I chose the best racquet to use.


I got a small piece of wood from a craft store.


Then I covered it with Deco Mesh using Mod Podge as my glue.


As you can see, a paper plate worked well for me to draw the ball lines.



I checked the centering of the clock face on the racket.



Then I added the numbers and clock hands.



Presently, the clock hangs on the wall next to my computer.
