This clock is based on a plan by Chris Becksvoort in Fine Woodworking. The plans are available for free here.
I built this using a single board of cherry that had been air drying for about 12 years. I installed a simple quartz movement, despite Becksvoort's mocking comments in the plans! I used a movement with no sounds and no pendulum.
