OK I can die now.
Not to be morbid but geez we have really outdone ourselves over this past year.
First we made great progress on our Air Force Cadet Academy Chapel project in Colorado Springs, CO.
Yea. Woah!!!
Inside.
Is this heaven?
The 2000' of "aero-designed" church pews are a bespoke, one-off design.
They had been sprayed with an opaque lacquer to hide water damage.
We were able to remove only the soiled old orange existing finish and expose the hidden natural patina of the mostly walnut wood beneath.
Yucky existing on the right. A miracle on the left.
And THEN we discovered this:
The pew ends had 3 different kinds of wood laminated together- Walnut, Ash and Mahogany.
Amazing!
From that painted orange to this. Makes me woozy!
The AF Cadet Academy Chapel is a work in progress that unfortunately you won't be able to see for quite a while. But if the balance of the work there is as strikingly spectacular as our part - it will be well worth the wait!
Our other project from last year- First Presbyterian Church also in Colorado Springs, CO. - was quite a transformation.
The wide shot "before:"
The pew "before."
