Grandfather Clock

First of all, let me preface this posting by saying that this was not my creation. My wife and I were lucky enough to be the recipient of this cherry grandfather clock as a wedding present that was handcrafted by my father and finished by my mother. It's based upon an image of a Nathaniel Mulliken clock found in an old book. Dad meticulously drew up the plans (the engineer in him) and then set about making this.

My father passed away two years ago. I have most of his tools in my wood shop now and hope to be able to be half as talented as he was.

It's truly a possession that we will always treasure.

PS: My brother and his wife received a beautiful cherry pencil post bed for their wedding present.
