    1840 Shaker Clock. Cherry. Mechanical movement. The cherry has aged well since the pic. was taken. My wife, Susan and I made 7 of these. We don't plan on making another one.

    Scrap wood clocks. Very simple, and desperately needed for the kitchen and my office! I think it was like $12 for the pair of clock motors and arms.

    Nice work! Love the walnut one too! What was the finish on the walnut?

    I believe I used a medium brown stain and garnet shellac for the top coat on the walnut clock.

    Very nice clocks from all of you and thanks for sharing. No, I have not searched at all, but can anyone provide generally accepted preferred clock works vendors?

    For the few clocks I've made I bought everything from Clockworks. They are very approachable and helpful.

    One for each child and a few others for presents. First one maybe 15 years ago and last this past winter.

    LOL. I suffered the same fate Erich. Still have a box of parts I never used. Not enough to build with, just enough to remind me how little I know about clocks.
