The Mantova clock

Scroll saw fretwork pendulum clock with cherubs, dragons and sirens

    

  This is a remarkable fretwork pendulum clock ornamented with cherubs, dragons, sirens and four small fretworked boxes that form the base. The clock is designed to be completed with a pendulum system, but a simple clock insert is also possible. This pattern is based in an old Italian design that I have restored carefully in the computer.

 

  The clock is designed to be made preferably with 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8 inches wood or with 12, 6 and 3 mm. wood, but of course other wood thickness can be used scaling the pattern. The following table gives the measures of the clock depending on the wood width you use:

  Clock height Clock width Clock depth
1/8, 1/4 and 1/2 in. wood 27 in. 15 in. 4.23 in.
3, 6 and 9 mm. wood 64,8 cm. 36 cm. 10,1 cm.
