Arts And Crafts Style Clock With Greene And Greene Ebony Plugs
This Clock was featured on other websites. This clock was originally made without the ebony plugs.
Splinter said his clocks were inspired by something about my clock but if you look at his you’ll see it’s really his own design and a good one too.

I thought if Splinters clocks looked good with ebony plugs mine would look great. So there Splinter.😏
I set my drill press stop and drilled the holes in the clock where the plugs were to go.
I knew I was taking a chance and I could ruin the clock but I did it anyway. 😬
After I drilled the holes I cut the square parts out of it with a 3/8” hollow mortise tool, and 3/8” and 1/4” hand chisels.
And it worked. 🤗

i remember these from, that other place. well done. it was definitely worth taking the chance to add the plugs. they really make it.
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
Yes, I remember this one too. Nice proportions with that wonderful QSWO lumber. It just looks "right." The ebony plugs are a great added detail. Well done. Thanks for posting. Really like your work...

Classic look.... beautiful
Nice clock made nicer with plugs. I put ebony plugs in a counter top I built many years ago. And I'm digging that QSWO figure, myself.

Thanks for the flashback James!
I've sold my pair long ago, that face design was the kicker for me, a perfect go-together.
Good choice with the plugs and the success in the install. Gives it the pinned tenon look that makes G&G unique.
