Traditional Wall Clock

Build a timeless wall clock with classic curves, a glass door, and working pendulum—a project that’s elegant, approachable, and rewarding.

Build a classic wall clock that combines the elegance of a grandfather clock with a scale and skill level that's approachable for most woodworkers. This project features graceful curves, decorative moldings, an arched glass door, and a working pendulum—all within a compact, wall-mounted design.

Perfect for woodworkers dreaming of creating an heirloom piece, this clock offers timeless appeal without the time and material demands of a full-size floor clock. The walnut case is built using basic joinery techniques, while the movement board simplifies installation of the clock components. For added refinement, curved moldings and a stenciled glass panel elevate the design.

Whether you're looking for a weekend challenge or a meaningful gift, this wall clock delivers craftsmanship, tradition, and beauty in one rewarding project.
