When most people think of a hardwood clock they usually conjure an image of the family heirloom grandfather clock or the classic fireplace mantle clock. These clocks are common fixtures in many homes and their abundance is a testament to our human curiosity and attraction to these magnificent and beautiful creations. Few people, however, can imagine a clock that is constructed entirely from wood, including the moving gear trains. Wooden skeleton clocks are rare works of functional art and only a handful of woodcraft artisans can design and build them to order.
You can
understand why the ranks of
wooden clock artisans is thin when you consider the multitude of
disciplines that the artisan must master before putting blades to wood.
Building one of these clocks is a real challenge but, the finished
work is well worth the effort. And, one of these clocks ticking
away in the foyer of a home or office building creates a sense of
amazement and usually becomes the center of attraction.
