I have been working on this project for waaaaaay too long! Fortunatley the church wasn’t waiting to have a pulpit until this one was done. :)
I am pleased to say that it is finished and ready to be taken to the church. It is funny how picky I can be about my work when I know that people other than my immediate family will see it on a regular basis. It’s not perfect but neither am I. I am happy with it’s final state and ready to move it in tomorrow.
The design was taken from some pictures and measurements that our Pastor took when attending a conference for Pastors. Everything you see except for the basic 5 sided design was something that I came up with. I have never designed a project like this before and it was quite an experience. That is part of the reason why it has taken me about a year and 9 months to complete it! Most of it I didn’t know what to do so I spent a lot of time second guessing myself.
The wood is beech with an ebony drawer pull and the finish is satin poly.
I hope you enjoy seeing it and thank you for looking!

Very nice work Brett. I really like the strip of wood across the top to hold a second row of books. That is a good idea that I haven’t seen before. I can see where the small drawer would be very handy also.

Brett that is a very nice Pulpit
The design is nice and clean
Your finish is great.
It is a wonderful thing to make for the
place that you worship.
I cant see a single fault, picky yes but that
is what pushes you forward.
Sit in the front pew with pride and enjoy.
I’m sure everyone else will.

Super work Brett! Quite a design. Your pastor should be able to keep enough supplies there to last several days. LOL. Congratulations on a beautiful project that will be treasured by many for years to come.

Thank you everyone for for kind words and compliments! Hopefully today, after work, I will move it into the building and get a picture of it in place.
Thank you once again!

Brett,
Very attractive and functional pulpit design. Plenty of room for Bible, notes, and commentaries.
