Crafting Legacies, Honoring Tradition

Our Story

Legacy Wooden Works revives the 200-year tradition of wooden gear clocks pioneered by Eli Terry in the early 1800s. After a 5-year quest for perfection, we’ve created the Legacy One and Legacy Two—weight-driven mechanical clocks crafted from premium Walnut, Hard Maple, Cherry, or your sentimental wood. Each clock is a numbered masterpiece, blending modern precision with the artistry of a bygone era, designed to be cherished for centuries.

Our Mission

To make exquisite wooden gear clocks accessible, echoing Eli Terry’s vision of affordable timekeeping. Using select hardwoods, all-brass arbors, and flawless hand-finishes, we craft heirlooms that carry tradition into the future.

Craftsmanship Details

  • Our clocks, measuring 20” H x 12” W x 5” D, feature a grandfather clock-style weight-driven mechanism with intricate brass accents.
  • Modern machining achieves ±30-second accuracy per winding cycle, while hand-finishing enhances the natural beauty of Walnut, Hard Maple, or Cherry.
  • Specialty orders allow for Mahogany or customer-provided wood, ensuring a personal touch.
