This clock was a Christmas present for my mother-in-law.  She had told Maria and I that she really wanted me to make her a decorative, wooden cross for her wall.  She had also told us that she missed having a wall clock too as her last one broke.  Maria and I located a kit/plan combo (clock parts and plan for making the wood pieces) for an old-fashioned schoolhouse regulator wall clock online and ordered it.  Maria wanted to make the clock unique by somehow combining it with the cross.  After a little brainstorming, this was the result I came up with.  The clock is mostly made from solid cherry, while the cross accent pieces are walnut.  The whole thing was finished using a simple Danish oil, satin wax combination to bring out the natural character of the wood.  It features a German mechanical movement with pendulum and chime.  The piece turned out great and Maria’s mother absolutely loves it!
