Tall Case Clock
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: Bill CoyleYou might say that Coyle spent three decades designing this tall case clock. A furniture maker for more than 30 years, Coyle had been studying and collecting 18th- and 19th-century American clocks and drew on that knowledge to make this piece as a wedding gift for his daughter. Influenced mostly by the work of Aaron Willard, Coyle’s clock is made of curly maple, with secondary woods of poplar and pine. The movement and dial are from S. LaRose Inc. (www.slarose.com), and the finish is water-soluble dye stain, hand-rubbed polyurethane, and wax.
