The Rosewood Altar

This full sized altar is made from a very dense and strong wood, which is often used to build musical instruments.

It's color ranges from a deep dark brown often with a reddish hue to a light brown with some occasional cream

running through the grain. A finished altar will weigh about 45 lbs., which makes it more of a "home altar

than a portable altar. Because it is so dense, it is very rough on my saw blades. It is like working with

stone rather than wood. I like to first inspect the wood grain in all the boards to determine which are most

suitable for a beautiful mensa and lid. The sawdust has a flowery aroma. I recommend one use a luggage

trolley to transport this altar due to its weight.

The altar stone does not automatically come with the altar - you must provide your own, or you may check

out the altar stones I offer.

Full Sized African Mahogany

I came upon some African mahogany wood while browsing in a specialty wood

store. Stacked in a pile on the floor, rough-sawn and in varying lengths and

thicknesses, I picked through and brought some home. After milling and finishing

a piece, seeing what I had - I ran back and bought enough to build an altar or two

before i was gone. It was a lot more work but sure was worth it as it really turned

out to be quite spectacular.
