Hello from Melbourne

[Nikhil]

Hi. Nikhil from Melbourne. How's everyone? Has anyone here ever assembled a prayer cabinet? Could anyone advise on the type of timber that's commonly used in assembling prayer cabinets?

Would not know of any religious preferences at all. Have never heard of such. Have done Catholic (small say 250mm) crosses as parts for a church interior in western red Cedar - more to go with the other woodwork than any thing else. Have heard of cedar of Lebanon for crosses & sandalwood for prayer beads, But not for any particular religious reason. I'm an atheist so not up on such matters. I think -something nice is probably the go, but don't know of preferences. Probably several trees worth of "pieces of the true cross" would be around the world!
