Craftsman Style Clock Case


                           
This Los Barrios model clock (left) was made by the New Haven Clock Co. in 1904. It is of Flemish Oak. I made a full size measured drawing of it in order to construct ten reproductions. My prototype (right) is white oak. The original has a spring-wound movement with a gong strike. The reproductions, half in walnut, half in cherry, have a battery-driven movement with a mechanical bim-bam strike.
