> Proposed Portable Ark design:
> I suggest cherry, though oak or maple will work as well. Because of
> weight concerns, I suggest floating panels made of fine finished veneer
> rather than laminated solid wood (stronger and lighter, veneers are well
> made, just as attractive and strong at 1/10 the weight).

> INSIDE DIMENSIONS to accomodate two torahs:
> 12? deep
> 40? high
> 32? wide
>
> Two sides=mortise and tenon (approx) 3? wide solid wood. Inside edges of
> the assembled frame are prepared with a routed groove to accept a
> floating (3/8? veneer) panel.
> Front= mortise and tenon (approx) 3? wide solid wood. Beveled outside
> edges to join with sides.
> Top, bottom, and back = 3/8? veneer panels (edges covered in assembly).
> Two doors mounted on the face of the front mortise and tenon cabinet frame.
> Inside light fixture built into recessed top section above the doors,
> with wood barrier behind a curtain rod.
> Decorative trim molding around top.
