Shaker Wall Clock in Cherry

Project by gotmarko posted 705 days ago 3264 views 1 time favorited 16 comments Add to Favorites Watch

This clock was built as part of a series of classes taught by Glen Huey at the Centerville OH Woodcraft store. This was our second project, the first was a shaker style step stool, which was used as an introduction to each other and the tools and workflow we would be using.

The clock was constructed of cherry, with cherry veneered plywood for the door panel. The doors are constructed with bridle joints. The total height of the piece is about 30”. While the clock would normally have small turned knobs on the doors, my wife liked the look before the knobs were added, so they stayed off. The clock was finished with Minwax Antique Oil finish.

Clean lines but this looks great because it is really clean construction. Nice work.

I like it without the knobs too! Also, like the way you captured that particular piece for the panel. Well selected! Looks aged to some degree already.

Now tell me…looks like you’ve been a member for 571 days and this is your 2nd post! How did that happen?

Dorje: 571 days… I think I joined about the same time I was starting the last project in the series of classes, and I wanted to wait until I had them done to post them. Well, 2 of them are done; I still have plenty of work to do on the blanket chest, so I figured I should get busy posting projects and getting them out of the shop and into use. Maybe getting these posted will help get the last one done…

Really nice execution of a very classic-pooking design. Bravo!

Simple lines are often quite elegant. I’ve seen this type before and always liked it. Good job.

Dorje: You can see Glen’s version of the blanket chest we built in this blanket chest article at Popular Woodworking. The main carcass is rabbeted and nailed with cut nails, much like a utilitarian shaker piece would have been. The drawers were my first experience with hand cutting rabbeted half-blind dovetails, so there’s room for improvement there. Now to actually get it completely assembled and get a couple of coats of finish on it.

I’m a very big fan of Shaker pieces…you did a really great job with this – it’s an impressive piece you should be very proud of.

Nice job!
