"...Got the order!
The competitor had a catalogue of ready-made lecterns, hadn’t bothered to see the chapel but was half my price!
The computer renders were the clincher PLUS ......... I don’t think they liked him!"
A divine intervention maybe?

Fletty, you know that the renderings of your proposed lectern has two different designs?
In this one, the angled desk is set forward of the lectern's back meaning that the "preacher" can stand a little closer to the text they are reading from.
and in this one, the angled top is larger in area and flush with the rear of the lectern.
it's also unclear, at least to me, how the two turned columns support the lectern itself.
BTW
given the "fun" you had with the FRG last time, I'm wondering how it will turn for you.
Me? I think I'd turn the columns using something relatively easy like Mahogany or Sapele, and save the FRG for the lectern's mouldings.Last edited by ian; 2nd November 2020 at 04:14 AM. Reason: to add second picture

I was also confused by the relative position of the columns and the base. Perhaps something like this:

Notwithstanding that it's Fletty's design, I'm envisioning a WIP (hint, hint) building something a bit like this

I am greatly heartened by everybody else’s confidence that I both know what I am doing and have sorted out the design details. Thank you to those poor misguided souls.
As much as it is not like me to open a door and throw a bag of smelly prawn heads into a crowded room but I may have done exactly that by posting contradictory renders?
While I am in such a conciliatory mood, I also need to comment on the scurrilous rumours that I am about to become a wood turner. This was the result of an accidental collision between 2 independent causes. The lathe that “magically appeared in my shed” is one of NCArchers menagerie of machines that have been agisted due to his temporary lack of a shed. It is actually up for sale and and would be a great buy for anyone WHO DOES actually want to be a wood turner. The second colliding cause was that the client required a design that was empathetic to the existing altar ....... which has columns.
Now, let’s start again. Here are the 2 designs presented to the client and those designs in company with said altar.

The client chose the open fronted design which is a bugger because now I have to make the inside presentable too?a rock is an obsolete tool ......... until you don’t have a hammer!

I'm surprised they didn't ask you to reflect the Doric columns on the altar in your pulpit. Why would they have chosen an open fronted design which creates a distracting element for the congregation? Oh well, I guess the customer must be right.

on the basis that the "design selection committee" -- of course you know about the definition of a camel -- liked your "design" and accompanying price because it was Fletty's own design -- and we know Fletty, he turned that old tree in that wonderful table and chairs.
seriously I think not.
at the risk of stomping on your "Fletty, the Design God" toes ...
Perhaps the client intends to commission another CNC carved stone (?) panel for the face of the lectern and needs the completed lectern to measure the size of panel required.
In which case, I suggest you build them a lectern incorporating four "Doric" columns surrounding a plinth that will contain additional CNC carved stone panels -- perhaps three, front and both sides.
The columns you design will need to be Doric to "match" those on the alter. After all, you are the "artist" and can very strongly recommend whatever you like. The "client" is only "always right" after they [the client] have fully considered and determined to reject the artist's advice because the artist's advice is ill-advised, not because the client can't afford the changes suggested by the artist.
there's lots of other tweaks I'd suggest so that the lectern becomes a visual match for the alter, but perhaps attempting a public design collaboration is not what you preferregards from Alberta, Canada

You’ve got to love our forum! Via this online fellowship of woodworkers I have been generously offered turning lessons, turning tools, SketchUp lessons, SketchUp work and even lessons on theology! Those who know me of course realise that I am more likely to become a turner than theologian?
I will post a WIP starting later this week ..... or maybe the one after.....but the first step is measuring up the details of the altar that are repeated in the lectern and for this, I bought a new digital vernier ...... there goes the profit margin! 🤭a rock is an obsolete tool ......... until you don’t have a hammer!

I’ve been as busy as a one-armed paper hanger with the hives on other projects but the lectern has been bubbling along courtesy of the effort of others. The columns are finished and now, with one variable locked in, I can finish the design and, more importantly the HOW of constructing it.
