A Wichita workshop hand-builds solid-hardwood altars, pulpits, lecterns, communion tables, baptismal fonts, and related church furnishings.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-07 issue.

Field notes

The workshop describes a four-step path from an initial call through approval, construction, and delivery, with each piece sized to the church’s chancel rather than selected from a standard catalog. Product entries include practical constraints such as pulpit visibility from the back pew, hidden storage, microphone and tablet cable routing, and typical lead times. The site also specifies solid lumber, in-house milling, and finish samples sent for approval before spraying.
