Ombre Mod Wall Clock

Cut boards to your desired angled shape — a miter saw or table saw both work — so they'll fan together into one plaque.

Sand all boards smooth before staining, since it's much easier to sand flat individual boards than a glued-up assembly.

Stain each board a different shade — light, medium, dark — to build an ombre gradient effect across the set.

Glue the boards together in ombre order, centering the arrangement by eye, and weight it with something heavy while the glue sets, about 30 minutes.

Center the purchased clock face on the assembled plaque and mark the screw location using the clock's back notch. Screw it on snugly, flush with the back, so it can still be removed for battery changes.

Attach a sawtooth hanger to the back of the plaque.
