I was looking for a simple clock face, but found nothing. So I made my own

Thanks for sharing!
What material did you use to engrave this design on?
It is a white faced hardboard from https://kitronik.co.uk/. I think it was a clearance offer, but the material is often used as the back panel in fitted kitchen cupboards.
Cheers, Rob
I did something similar using TroTec’s black-on-white acrylic. I took a 24 hour clock and made a face for it that was divided into ten segments, removed the second and minute hands and now my kitchen is on Metric Time, which drives my mother-in-law insane every time she sees it. It serves no other purpose…

Been making clock faces from tiles, working well.
OLM3 diode laser (10w) running at 80%, two pass gives some nice deep etched “pits” in textured tiles.
Some various paints (acrylic, nail polish, etc) dabbed in with a brush or tooth pick. Overflow gets scraped away with a razor blade or some 220 grit sand paper (which doesn’t scratch the tile).
Walnut case for a complete clock

That looks amazing!
Thank you Steven!
Well done, mate, looks incredibly. BTW what’s the font?
Thanks Akuna 
The font is an Arts & Crafts font, there are hundreds out there. This particular font I could not locate so I just used images from a screen capture and some cleanup with the GIMP editor.

In case I haven’t mentioned it yet: Lightburn is a great piece of software!
You can apply “circular array” also to guidelines and get a rectangular clock face in two minutes.
Brilliant!
I haven’t converted the numbers to outlines yet, so you can change the font or switch to arabic numerals…

Oh, and just so I don’t forget to mention: I love Lightburn.
Please set the cuts/layers to your needs and use “fill shapes individually” to reduce time needed

Did you also make the clock cabinet?
