A group from the Building Renovation Team along with artist
Julie Speidel went to O.B. Williams in Seattle where the new altar wood is
being finished. We got to see the slab of Walnut before final work on
it.
The slab is now just shy of 6 inches thick has come through the
curing process well (it was drying in a kiln for 5 months!). The team at
O.B. Williams said it was the thickest piece of walnut they have ever worked
with.

The portion to be carved out for the bronze reliquary box
will be about 5 inches by 14 inches so we will have a roomy space for Gregory
the Great and some of the ashes of Father Ralph Carskadden.
