Church Podium

The church needed a new podium in the Activity Center. A parishioner was removing an old cabin from their property and numerous boards were recovered. We found the lumber was hand-hewn Cypress from the 1850’s. After removing nails, staples and tacks, the lumber was passed through a planer many times until the thickness was 7/8″ and cleaned of all old paint. The Podium was specially designed to hold an open notebook and left room for a microphone system. The cross on the front was made from rescued pine at the same job site. Appliance mover base was added to ease the relocation of the finished Podium since it weighs more than thirty pounds.
