Beautiful wood, and I love the angles.

-- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood"

That is a nice piece of work. Did you make it from plans or just wing it?

-- Grant...."GO BUCKEYES"

Excellent arrangement of grain patterns. Beautiful clock.

Beautiful clock with gorgeous wood. Nice job.

Hi Grant,

Plans from a now defunct company called Mason & Sullivan on Cape Cod. Needed to modify plans a bit to fit pendulan length of the mechanical movement and dial that I had originally planned to use for a “Office Regulator”. I feel that the flat clock base looks better than the pointed ones used for most Office type clocks.

Georgeous wood and wonderfull craftsmanship on the fit and finish! A top notch work.

I am sure that your son and his family will treasure this gift forever.

I love to craft mechanical clocks myself…I would echo Grant’s question of design plans. Also, what movement and dial face did you use?

This is a very nice piece. The joinery gives it some nice details and the wood itself shows some beautiful grain.

Thanks for the post.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

I’d be delighted as well. Excellent work.

I have more clocks than rooms, but none as beautiful as this. The wood is gorgeous and the high sheen of the finish really shows it off.

This is a very beautiful clock. The wood you used really makes the project. Great job….

Trev,

The movement and face was one made for Mason & Sullivan by one of the German Mfgs. I wish I had kept their catalogs, but alas they got trashed. As near as I can tell it would have benn M&S bim-bam movement #3341X with 7406S calender dial.

They have a cross refference to the M&S mechanical movents

Good luck and thanks for the kind words

What an insperational piece, makes me want to rush out and find a movement and get to it. Very nice job of bringing out the beauty and grain of the wood.

-- I can so I wood but why are my learning curves always circles

This is a gourgous clock !! I like the finished wood that really stands out with the clear finish.
