The Methodist Flames of Life

We have the honor of creating these beautiful Methodist flames to be placed on the back wall, behind
the sanctuary stage. Constructed of solid red oak hardwoods, the overall sizes of the flames are 3” thick
by 48”wide and 168” long. The oak was glued together at different angles, to create a unique wood grain
appearance. Hand shaping and carved using a power grinder to create the flame motif

a powerful and beautiful presentation.

 

Stained with a red aniline dye and finished with a pre-catalyzed furniture finish for a deep luster.

 

In our January  newsletter you can read about the beginning construction of these flames.
