Beautiful wood, and I love the angles.

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

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.

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

Paul

God Bless
