We just completed an amazing project that combines so many aspects related to the Christmas season: Love, rebirth, and carpentry.
LOVE: Debbie Towson asked us if we would design and build a desk for her husband, Pastor Jimmy Towson. She said she wanted the desk to be a big part of his Christmas this year.
God gave us an amazing gift...His Son. He is the reason Believers rejoice this time of year the world over.
REBIRTH: Most of the wood that we used came from my granddaddy’s stash of really cool lumber. Some of the pieces that made it into this desk are easily 80-100 years old.
Our Savior gives us a new life — something new...coming out of something old.
CARPENTRY: The Towsons’ desk was built using old-world joinery. No nails or screws were used to build it. The strength of the construction comes from mortise-and-tenon joints and half-lap joints, both reinforced with dowels.
Jesus was a carpenter. His chosen craft is a picture of what he was born to do - make old things new, transform lives, and repurpose us.
We are so grateful you gave us this opportunity. Thank you, Pastor Jimmy and Ms. Debbie!
Merry Christmas from Reunion Designs!
