In all their furniture, Charles and Henry Greene never designed a grandfather clock, but based on their design elements, if they had it would have been similar to the original of this one made by Dale Barnard of Paoli Indiana which was exhibited in the Indiana State Museum. I took a class with Dale where I fabricated this one. Here you see the project after finishing before it was moved from my garage into the house.

Ever since joining L/js I’ve had it in mind as one of the things I ultimately want to build, so I’ve been collecting ideas and designs for my eventual build. I can’t have a go at it at the moment as sometime in the next year or so we will be moving, so it’s going to be a project for our next address. Your clock is a beauty and I’m saving it with my other clocks as being outstanding. Thanks for posting.

I like your clock. Is it your design or did you have plans for it? In either case, it is a great representation of a Green and Green piece. Wonderful job! Oh yeah, congrats on the top 3 award.

Great looking clock Doc but we need to see more pictures!
Hard to get an idea of the size from the picture. How tall is it?
What kind of finish did you use?

Amazing clock. If I were to build a clock, this would be the clock I would build :) Love the Greene and Greene accents, and love the proportions. Truly a quality piece. Thank you so much for sharing!!!
