Altar Furnishings

FURNITURE

Altars, ambos, fonts, chairs, and tabernacles, hand carved in the studio.

Most glass studios stop at the window. We also build what sits beneath it.

Symbolism and unity are the key elements in the design of altar furnishings. A piece is drawn for the sanctuary it will stand in and, where there is glass above it, to answer that glass.

Presider chairs are made of solid hand carved mahogany, maple, and cherry. Altars, ambos, tabernacles, ambries, and baptismal fonts are all built in the same studio.

How It Works

THE PROCESS

Solid hardwood, carved in the studio, finished and set in place by the people who made it.

01

Design to the Room

Furnishings are drawn for the sanctuary they will stand in, matched to the wood, stone, and glass already there.

02

Timber Selection

Solid hardwoods chosen for the piece and the room: mahogany, maple, cherry, and purpleheart.

03

Hand Carving

Carved in the studio rather than assembled from stock components, so the detail matches the drawing and the room.

04

Finishing & Installation

Finished, delivered, and set in place by the studio, coordinated with whatever else is happening in the building.
