I had this double kneeler built for my wife and I, and I hope to see it used in family weddings. I used spanish cedar, and used a hand rubbed penetrating oil to give it depth. It has a shelf for prayer books and a matching shelf that we use for our home shrine. The cushion is burgundy, and attached with antique brass tacks. I am going to put one on ebay, to help pay for the prie dieu i've wanted to have built for 7 years.
Hello Iuvenalis,
Ebay has them all the time, and I can tell you which one's have been on there for years. If you happen to see one you like, and interest's you, let me know. You may be able to get it at a big discount. Another place is andythorton.com. They are overseas, and the shipping is more than most of the kneelers in some cases. The one I rescued from Belgium came from there, and they were a pair. I wanted the pair, but it was out of my price range.
The idea for the one I am having built came from a company here in the USA. I have searched on and off for years. Hand's down kingrichards.com is the best place you will find. They can actually build the one I want cheaper, but the craftsman I'm using is considered the best woodcarver in the U.S.. I live in Virginia so having one built in Georgia causes a few concerns. One is wood movement because of the climate. Let me know if I can be of further assistance
Pax,
Tarpeian
