Thanks, Matt.

That project brought me more pleasure than any other—I’m going to do it again. In fact I’ve already started. I’ll post some pictures of it soon.

Very Impressive!!!! You can’t beat cherry.

Four at once! Talk about an overachiever. Great job, glad the recipients liked them.

These are absolutely beautiful. Of course cherry is my favorite wood but I am not biased in any way with regards to these pieces. I also like the fact that you aren’t showing favorites among your children Four of everything. Imagine the woodworking possibilities!!!

Do you have any grandchildren yet? If you do then we sure don’t want to leave them out either.

Have fun. :)

Wow! 4 at once. Brave undertaking. Would you do that again?

Can I be your kid? I take out garbage, and I go to bed when told! LOL

Nice job…very ambitious!

Very beautiful, nice craftsmanship. I don’t know that I would tackle such a large project as there are 7 kids in the family. The rewards certainly are worth the effort.

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

Those look fantastic!
If you are looking for anymore “kids” to give these to, I’m open to a conversation of my adoption!
Those will be treasured for years I’m sure.

That is one great group of clocks.

Hi Charles.

Beautiful looking clocks! What wonderful heirloom’s to pass on to your children. If you care to look on my sight, I built my wife a steamer trunk to pass on to her daughter and grand daughter. Thanks for posting. You do some beatiful work.

God Bless

Thanks to all for the kind words.

Would I do it again- four at a time? Yep, if I got paid for it, however their love is payment in full. The grand kids are to be the recipents of the clocks at a MUCH later date. There are five grandkids so another clock is being made for us and him later. I’ll post pictures of it later. This one is walnut and much fancier with fluted columns and swan neck moldings.

Sorry folks, I can’t adopt anyone. I’m getting too old and cranky.

The workmanship of the folks on LumberJock is absolutely first class. I’m proud to be a member and get inspiration from all of you.

Charles, Excellent work. Four clocks is quite an undertaking. I’m extremely interested in seeing the walnut clock when it’s finished. Please post, or email, some in progress photos. Are you copying a specific clock or do you have plans? The cherry clocks have very good lines. How did you come up with the design? Keep up the good work.

Great to see these, I have those issues of Fine Woodworking pulled out since that is adream project of mine. I am looking forward to keeping up with your walnut clock blog to see if you’ve got any tips for me. Thanks for posting this.

Very well done, Charles. I hope to do one of this quality some day!

Those will stand the test of time. Generations will enjoy the legacies you have skillfully created.
