Clock Inserts & Movements – Add the Finishing Touch to Your Woodworking Projects

Create Something Timeless with Strahan Timber

Whether you're a professional woodturner, woodworking enthusiast, craft maker or simply enjoy creating something unique, Strahan Timber has a selection of clock inserts and quartz clock movements to help bring your next project to life.

From traditional wooden mantel clocks to contemporary wall clocks and handcrafted gifts, our range of clock-making components offers a simple way to turn your woodworking creations into attractive, functional timepieces.

Clock Inserts – Small Details That Make a Big Difference

Our clock inserts are ideal for woodturning, routing and general woodworking projects. Designed to fit into a prepared recess, they provide a neat, professional finish without the need to assemble a complete clock mechanism.

Our range includes:

  • 36mm Clock Insert – Ideal for smaller decorative projects and handcrafted gifts.

  • 46mm Clock Insert – A great choice for compact wooden clocks and ornaments.

  • 65mm Clock Insert – Featuring a traditional Roman numeral dial.

  • 70mm Clock Insert – A stylish gold Roman numeral design.

  • 90mm Clock Insert – Featuring a gold Roman numeral dial and designed to fit a 65mm cut-out.

  • 100mm Skeleton Clock Insert – An eye-catching gold design featuring Roman numerals, perfect for larger statement pieces.

Whether you're working with Oak, Walnut, Ash, Beech, Sapele or another timber species, a clock insert can add a beautiful finishing touch to your work.

Quartz Clock Movements – Create Your Own Clock

If you prefer to design and build your own clock face, our quartz clock movements provide a practical solution.

Strahan Timber offers pre-packed clock movements with black or gold hands and numbers, available in two shaft lengths:

  • 7mm shaft length – Suitable for thinner clock faces and panels.

  • 14.5mm shaft length – Suitable for thicker clock faces, depending on the mounting requirements.

These movements are ideal for creating personalised wall clocks, wooden clocks, decorative panels and unique handmade gifts.

Simply select a suitable movement for the thickness of your clock face and create a design to match your style.

Perfect for Woodturners, Schools & Craft Projects

Clock making is a rewarding project for both experienced craftspeople and beginners.

Here are just a few ideas to inspire your next creation:

  • Woodturned clocks: Create a beautiful turned timber base and finish it with a decorative clock insert.

  • Mantel clocks: Use hardwood such as Oak, Walnut or Ash to create a traditional clock for the home.

  • Wall clocks: Combine a timber panel with a quartz movement to create a personalised wall clock.

  • School woodworking projects: An excellent practical project for Construction Studies, Wood Technology and craft classes.

  • Handcrafted gifts: Create a unique birthday, anniversary, retirement or Christmas present.

With a little creativity, a simple piece of timber can become a beautiful and practical keepsake.

Choosing the Right Clock Insert

Before starting your project, it is important to check the overall diameter of the clock insert and the required cut-out size.

Remember that the visible clock face diameter may be larger than the hole required to fit the insert.

For quartz movements, check the thickness of your timber or clock face to ensure you select the appropriate shaft length.

Taking accurate measurements before drilling or routing will help achieve a secure fit and a professional finish.
