Are any of you also woodworkers by hobby?
And if so, are you local to me?
I have motive for asking!

I need a Tenebrae hearse for Good Friday. Easy to fnd one fitting the catholic liturgy, but not a Protestant Tenebrae service. I do know someone locally, but I haven't been able to connect with him yet.
The hearse is the candleholder for this service; I need to hold 7, in a triangle or stairstep. The Protestant catalogs have them 1) too expensive for our taste and needs and 2) pretty simple and flat in design. I have Catholic roots, so I like the traingular shape of their hearse, but I don't need it hold more than a dozen candles.
So...I wanted to be able to meet with someone and discuss a couple of my design ideas/plans. I could likely do it myself, or most of it, I just would prefer a beveled edge and I assume one would use a lathe to do that. I don't have or know how to use a lathe.

But woodworking the kind of brawny, manly thing I thought so many guys here it would be a good place to ask.
Depending on what you are trying to bevel,it can be done with a router or a table saw.
I would bet posting a photo or a sketch would garner more advice than you can use lol

If you can draw it we can build it.
Being a heathen, I had to look it up. I found numerous pics of different ones, and a set of plans for a fairly simple one painted in flat black. (I also looked at one that was hand carved and had a baluster type stand). So, what's your idea and what would you need help with?

Yay! My local guy will do it.
It is going to be an interesting Good Friday service. I'm either going to borrow a thundersheet from a school band or something, or just use some old corrugated.
It's a sad but beautiful service. You have to kill Jesus.
But I will show you guys the end result.
Also, I figured a router might be able to help a beveled edge, but a table saw? Really?
I think I'm going to have to take up woodworking. Tools. And the smell of sawdust and wood is about as hot as the smell of bacon.

Sixty-one years a Roman Catholic and I had to look that one up!
A router will do a fine beveled edge, or a round-over or even an ogee.
Doing a bevel on a table saw will require a good saw and a jig or fixture to do it safely. A table router is probably the safest and easiest way to go.

Really? You've not been to a Roman Catholic Tenebrae?
Anyway, my guy is going to do it. Out of Mahogany. For nothing.
I will post a photo of the item when finished. And a podcast of the service if we record. Since batteries are my job, sometimes it doesn't happen.
