I have asked this on a woodworking site but got no replies and I know you lot know everything about everything so I decided to ask in here.
I have a wooden clock. The pendulum rod is shaped rather like a question mark, the curved part giving clearance to the mechanism.
The clock needs to be carefully aligned on the wall so the pendulum action is centred but this setting seems to change with humidity sufficiently to stop the clock.
The wood is hardwood veneered MDF. Would changing humidity change the curvature of the curved part of the pendulum rod?
