This is the project, one day prior to crating and shipping to my client (Gran) in North Carolina:

After reading my prayer bench/kneeler blog post, and watching the videos I produced, Gran contacted me and was interested in having one of these specific models, in walnut. I requested details to custom-fit the kneeler, and scheduled the build.

During the entire build I kept my client informed of progress with one photo album I created in my Photo Gallery. This proved to be a great way to keep Gran informed.

Upon completion I crated the kneeler, and shipped it to North Carolina. For several days I worried. It arrived intact; all my worrying had been for naught.

Gran’s comments in a recent e-mail were as follows:

I am thrilled to have it – I have wanted one for a long time.  The wood is beautiful and your craftsmanship is a gift.

Thank-you, Gran, for your patience and comments!

Some time ago I posted three videos on the design and build of a prayer kneeler. We donated the kneeler to the local church where our daughter is a parishioner, to help raise funds for their little school in a Silent Auction.

Due to last-minute events, I completely forgot to document the finished piece, as I delivered it to the fund raiser committee just days before the auction. But, as luck would have it, the highest bidder lives less than 10 minutes away from us. Since the lady is a friend of our daughter, I requested she let the winner know I was interested in taking photos of the finished piece, in her own home. She graciously agreed!

So, finally, I can share with you the prayer kneeler in its final location. We purchased the fabric for the kneeling pad during one of treks through the Far East; Sandy made the pad in such a way that, if need be, it could be easily detached and replaced by the lucky high bidder at the Silent Auction. This was not required, as the lady loved it:
