Craftsman-Style Clock
Build a Craftsman-style mantel clock with classic Arts & Crafts design, handmade tile, and a modern quartz movement. A great DIY woodworking project.
This elegant Craftsman-style mantel clock blends traditional Arts & Crafts design with simple construction techniques, making it a perfect project for both novice and experienced woodworkers. Inspired by classic architectural lines and enhanced with a handmade ceramic tile, the clock brings timeless charm to any room.
The frame is built from white oak, stained to bring out the grain, and paired with a contrasting maple clock face. Decorative elements include stained end-grain markers and a distinctive tile inset that reflects the rich tradition of early 20th-century craftsmanship. The tile, sourced from Motawi Tileworks, adds authentic character to the piece.
While it honors traditional styling, the clock also includes modern touches such as a reliable quartz movement and a removable back panel for easy maintenance. Hidden screws and clean joinery ensure a refined look, while simple construction steps make it achievable in a weekend.
Whether you're a fan of Arts & Crafts furniture or looking for a handmade gift, this mantel clock delivers style, function, and craftsmanship in a compact design.
