FUNCTIONAL EXOTIC HARDWOOD TIMEPIECES .
MASTER CRAFTED HEIRLOOM-QUALITY WORKS OF KINETIC ART.
When most people think of a hardwood clock they usually conjure an image of the family heirloom grandfather clock or the classic fireplace mantel clock. These clocks are common fixtures in many homes. Their abundance is a testament to our human curiosity and attraction to these magnificent and beautiful creations.
Few people, however, can imagine a clock that is constructed entirely from wood, including the moving gear trains. Wooden skeleton clocks are rare works of functional art. Only a handful of woodcraft artisans can design and build them to order.
Have a look for yourself and browse through the gallery of clocks. Then contact me to learn how you can own one.
These original clocks are One-of-a-Kind creations and built on a commission basis with a limited number of available annual commissions.
OTHER NON-CLOCK ARTISAN PROJECTS
In my spare time I design and create other projects that I showcase in this separate gallery.
GO >>VIDEO & GALLERY
I maintain a separate portfolio of clock related videos in a YouTube gallery. These videos show most of my clocks in various stages of completion, including competed projects. These videos are intended to shows some of the shop methods and techniques I use to create a multitude of parts and sub-assemblies that contribute to the whole clock.

When I start a new clock project, I also begin a new blog series to document the process and detail the stage of the build.
