Every Daneker grandfather clock is crafted in wood of matchless quality. The quality of the wood is so fine that it matches the standards that are chosen for musical instruments.

The woods are chosen for its unique characteristics in grain, tenure and hue.

· Mahogany, with its tight graining, sound resonance, steak patterns and inherent reddish tone, they are so often seen in formal period furnishings.

· Cherry, with its natural variations and flamboyant grain structure disclosed in beautiful light and dark finishes.

· Walnut, the exceptional open grain and hardwood with interesting shades of brown that helps cast a refined, subtle elegance.

· Maple, the timber of inherent strength and subdued graining that played such a lively role in the home of “colonial America”.
