Wood Gear Clock

The Excapment took me three tries to get a good one. The final one will keep good time but I have three teeth that could use a bit of fine tuning.

Hi Jerry,

I know it has been a while since you posted this. I should browse the CNC forum more often.

How is the clock coming along? It looks like a nice escapement. Are the segments holding up without cracking?

The outer diameter will need to change size with humidity changes. I have often wondered if a there is a perfect spoke shape that would allow expansion in length at the same rate as the change in diameter. Straight spokes are obviously bad.
