This is a square dial mantle clock made from Carob. The design of the clock is one used in the beginning oodworking class where I teach part time. The clock features a bim-bam quartz movement and Artique glass. Construction is stopped and through dados, rabbets and grooves (oh my!! :-0) This is one of the four styles of clocks that our beginner students construct in one semester. Everyone begins with rough sawn lumber and creates foue squared boards to build with. It’s a lot of fun (and work) for the students and I enjoy seeing the woodworkers emerge from thier cocoons.

From here it looks harder than you think. I’m sure after you have made 50, 60 clocks they are easy by your standards but it looks wonderful. The selection of the wood is perfect. Enough grain so you look deeper and longer at the clock because of the wood selection. And you got back. Lookin good even when you are moving it from the mantle to the table to change batteries once a year. Very Nice project. I love making Clocks. Thanks for Sharing your skills and creativity.
