Clockmakers Michelle L. Smith and Leland Hedgecock Smith pursue their craft in the village of Mardela Springs on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Their workshop is part of the eight building Adkins Historical and Museum Complex.
While providing the highest quality restoration and care for antique and modern clocks, Leland's specialty is the Colonial American wooden geared clock.
Leland's work has been honored by the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors with an International Clock Making Gold Medal. Leland's unique perspective and craftsmanship has been recognized and featured in stories by National Public Radio, The Learning Channel, Wood Shop News, Victoria Magazine, The Baltimore Sun, ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, and National Public Television.
Original Barren Creek Clocks are designed, hand crafted, and fully guaranteed by Leland in a way that only a skilled craftsman can personally provide on a numbered, signed, and dated product of his hand. Leland's eight-day wooden-geared mechanisms reflect the genius and innovation of the Colonial American Clockmaker.
The unique combination of art and practical purpose, sight and sound, and solid presence that a clock provides, is a quality unmatched by any other household possession. A custom designed Barren Creek clock increases the owner's pleasure by providing a "one of a kind" heirloom to be enjoyed for generations. Click on the certificate to see our warrantee.
