While waiting for the extra-slow epoxy fiberglass hardener to arrive, I decided to get started on the prop. Since this is my first attempt at carving a prop, there is a very good chance that this will end up as a decorative wall clock. Accordingly, I went to Lowes to take a look at their hardwood selection. I found some Poplar 1 x 6's that looked pretty decent. (They were actually cheaper than their "select pine" boards.) I laminated them together with T-88 epoxy.
Total Time: 1.0 hrs.
