    The Hickory Flat Cuckoo Clock. Traditional imported German clock works inside, all-American outside.

    Cuckoo clock artist Jodie Davis presents her Hickory Flat Cuckoo Clock. Named after the hamlet in which she lives, the clock was inspired by Adirondack furniture. Jodie handmakes her clocks individually on her two-horse farm in north Georgia. She starts with clockworks and bellows she imports from the Black Forest. Her clocks are traditional weight-driven 8-day clocks, powered by cast German pine cone weights, or more modern weights Jodie has made by a blacksmith in Mississippi.

    While I carve many figures for my clocks from wood, some I sculpt, scan, and 3D print.

    With cuckoo clocks, it's all about the animation. Here, you can see how the movement powers it all.

    The Victorian Cuckoo Clock

    I just hooked up the animation, which is powered by the top of the bellows. This is a first for me, and not something I've seen in German cuckoo clocks. And it works!

    Old Glory Cuckoo Clock

    Handmade in America, this American Flag cuckoo clock is crafted from local wood and imported German Clockworks. The Constitution is engraved on the front, the Pledge of Allegiance on the side. Tucked in the other side is a leather-bound pocket Constitution. The weights are hand forged locally. And the cuckoo is an eagle!

    Cuckoo Clocks Made in America? Yes!

    Americans love cuckoo clocks, they are treasured family heirlooms. But so many times people have said to me that while they want one, German cuckoo clocks don't fit into their homes, nor do they reflect our passions and interests today. That's why I started designing and making them. We use imported German clockworks and handcraft our clocks just as they do in Germany. Our clocks are constructed from poplar milled right down the lane from the farm here in north Georgia. www.AmCuckoo.com

    The Sesame Street Cuckoo Clock

    A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the Sesame Street Cuckoo Clock was commissioned by Sesame Street Workshop for puppeteer Caroll Spinney's retirement gift. The first clock I completed as a cuckoo clock maker, it was an incredible honor to make. Out goal was to recreate the famous Sesame Street Stoop. The day we finally got it all together with Big Bird and Oscar on the clock -- and animated -- I took a break to feed the horses and us, then came back into the workshop. "I'm on Sesame Street!" I said to myself. Mission accomplished. Please note that this was a one-off. We are not licensed to reproduce the clock for sale. I'm hoping to find time soon to duplicate it for our museum though! www.AmCuckoo.com
