  1. Wall Mounted "Altar" Shelf

    Here's another simple piece made from store bought pine. "Flower Eye" cut from jigsaw and carved with Dremel. Stained with india ink. Entire piece stained with india ink and olive oil then sealed with paste wax. Hardware grinded and inked for patina.
  2. Altar

    I made this while I was stationed in Iraq in 2005. We needed an altar in the chapel, at the time all we were using was an old table. The only material I could get my hands on was plywood and 2×6s. So I made do with what I had and went at it. The table top is made of 2×6s (I forget how many it...
  3. Maple and walnut table

    This is out first project on LumberJocks. The table is certainly not perfect, but some of the features makes us feel proud: the altar-like design and legs that have continuous grain pattern around. Wood matching, finish and some details are probably the weak points. Most of the table was made...
  4. Portable Chapel Altar

    This is a portable Altar I designed and built for a nursing home. The home does not have a dedicated chapel, but holds worship services in a multi-purpose activity room, so the Altar needed to be easily moved (it is on casters). In addition, the chaplain requested storage space for linens...
  5. Reduced Size Altar Bookstand

    As with the first altar book stand I posted on Lumberjocks, I used white oak, stained simply with 'Natural' color stain so as not to interfere with the wood burning. Then I applied a few coats of water-based clear finish. The edges of the frame are slightly chamfered, but not the edges of the...

  8. Evil table for Rob Zombie

    This table is called "altar" and I built it for my favorite artist Rob Zombie. The only problem is he doesn't know I built it for him. He may not even want it. That's fine by me because this table looks amazing in my living room. Anyway, hope you dig it. If anyone knows RZ please let me know…...
