Commissioned work of a Religious Shrine installed into a custom home on the coast. This shine is made of Cherry using both sold cherry and cherry ply. There are 5 hidden compartments contained with in this piece, along with touch latches on the bottom doors. The shrine had to fit into a wall niche in the clients shrine room. Once in the wall niche the walls were upholstered around the shrine.
