Mahogany Meditation Shrine

$850

Friends of ours in Baltimore contacted us about the possibility of building a meditation shrine for them. They didn't have a detailed idea of what they were looking for, but they knew they wanted something about 2.5 feet tall with a cabinet underneath the top of the shrine and a shelf in the middle. An email conversation began, as so often does with our custom orders, and this shrine is the result. The shrine is 30 inches tall, 36 inches wide, and 10 inches deep. The body is made of Forest Stewardship Council-certified mahogany, the door handles are made of wenge. Roy carved the Tibetan characters Ki and So (seed syllables in the Shambhala tradition) in the center of each door panel. The entire piece is finished with water-based polyurethane.

Roy learned his craft from his father, Klein, who shared his lifelong love of wood and handcrafted furniture and accessories with his son.

If it's made out of wood, we can create it. If you can imagine it, we can build it! We've built caskets, industrial fixtures, speakers, doors, a music box shaped like a Bible; the list goes on. We're happy to make variations on our standard products or create something completely new. We'd love to work with you from your drawings and ideas and turn them into something lasting for your home.
