What kind of wood are cuckoo clocks made of?
Asked 2 ´years ago
Answer:
Linden wood, also known as lime wood or basswood, is a popular choice for carving cuckoo clocks. It is favored for its fine grain, light weight, and ease of carving due to very few knots, making it well-suited for intricate designs and details. Figures are often made of maple. A stronger plywood is used for the box that contains the mechanism and inner workings.
