This was a gift for a pastor who needed one. The Sunday school class has over 200 each Sunday and that is not the church service. The top is Sahara Corian so condensation from a glass of ice water won't hurt it. The rest is oak plywood with solid insets in the end of any exposed board. The columns are solid oak made on a special lathe that cuts with a router. The spirals are one per and one reverse to match. The moldings are hand made on a router table. The cross is solid oak 1 x 6" boards biscuited together. The ends of the arms are capped with solid oak plained to 1/4" thick and routed with a 1/4" bit to match rest so no end grain shows. If you want pictures of the project in progress or detailed information as to tools and bits I will be happy to provide them.
"I live in NJ, and wish there was a physical store near where I live. My experience with rockler.com is second to none. Not only are your products first rate, but customer service/product support is exceptional. I've called several times, and never received someone on the other end of the phone who was anything but extremely helpful, patient, and friendly. The biggest compliment I can give is that I TRUST Rockler for all my woodworking needs. The only other store I can say that about is LL Bean. My wood working friends in western NJ love Rockler. Keep on keepin' on - and get a store here in Jersey!!" -
