Synagogue designer and artist Gabriel Bass hand carved this solid wood aron kodesh. The side columns, boxes, and crown ner tamid are carved by knives throughout and inlaid from the back with stained glass. LED lights illuminate the piece by lighting the stained glass from within. The doors slide for ultimate accessibility. The ark comfortably fits five or more torah scrolls.
This torah ark is a true one of a kind masterpiece, with a timeless balance between traditional and contemporary elements. It glows with a combination of wood carving and stained glass. The boxes are constructed of solid wood dovetail joinery. The columns are carefully built solid wood columns, cut in half and hand carved. This aron kodesh is currently for sale and can be shipped immediately. Other custom aron kodeshes can be designed and produced according to the needs of your community or synagogue.

Custom projects are processed individually. Please contact us with as much information as you have, pictures, measurements, style, etc. We will then produce for you a detailed three dimensional computer rendering of the proposed furnishings. The renderings will help you, your committee, and donors actualize how the project will look in your space. It can also help greatly to raise additional funds and make your project a reality. We continue to revise the sketches according to your feedback until you are fully satisfied with the design and budget before we begin production.

We follow all plans and requests down to scale and our clients delighted by the products they receive. In order for us to deliver the best quality product, we need to make decisions regarding some details during production. You are likely not going to receive the exact product in the photograph on the website. Because of the organic nature of other custom projects, such as carving or glass work, there is no way in describing the exact details in rendering in advance. The only decisions that we make are those that we believe will make the product either of higher quality, stronger, more functional, or aesthetically pleasing. As a client of any craftsman you are putting your confidence in their decisions.
