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...

My very first clock project from a few years ago. It came out looking pretty good but…a grandfather clock should never ever be your first clock project. It sounds horrible in that its as quite as a mouse. I like my clocks loud to annoy the kids. I miscalculated the dimensions of the clock...

ScrollerOnline.com has a neat pattern for a miniature grandfather clock. The light colored decorative scroll sawed pieces are maple. The balance of the clock is walnut. I used a dark walnut stain on the walnut to give the biggest color contrast possible between the light colored maple and the...
