As Frightening As This Is

As frightening as this is, with a few taps of a mallet, the readers table in the Sisterhood made a slow controlled collapse into all its parts. No worries though as it was all the parts were intact, but still needed some heavy repair everywhere. Re-veneered large areas and rebuilt it so it was structurally sound. We made a new sub-top where outlets had been cut in. Here are a few before and after photos.

Along with the readerstable, the 2 lecterns came along for a similar ride. The tops and aprons had to be remade. The bases were damaged and worn. Some more before and after.

After re-veneering, the task of creating the triangular cutouts was ahead of us along with finishing to match; not just the face but all of the fretwork as well. The Sisterhood has just been delivered and installed.
