The folks at Trinity Presbyterian Church in Richmond, VA were ready for a change to the front chancel area of the sanctuary and asked me to build new chancels rails and a pulpit. One of the members was a retired architect and drew up a working set of scale plans for me to work from. I had total control of the details such as milling profiles and construction methods.    

The new pieces had to match the existing sanctuary furniture and profile as closely as possible. I used mahogany for the raised panels, pulpit top, lectern top, rail caps, baseboards, and molding. Poplar and birch veneered plywood were used for the painted surfaces.
