A pair of cases to hold Bibles translated to Korean

by Alan Young

I’m working on a fascinating new commission. I’m making a pair of “Bible Cases.” These cases will each hold a copy of the entire Bible translated from English to Korean. The translations were hand written by a 94 year old Korean woman for her church and for her family posterity.

I begin with printing out various views of the project. This rendering contains most of the information I need for the harp brackets, leg stretchers and case sides.

A number of pieces underway. A set of harp brackets and leg stretchers- the four side pieces for the cases. Two of the side sections have the gothic windows cut out.

An initial dry fit for the first of the four side sections.

Parts and side sections. I glue up the other two side sections next. Then proceed with work on the case sections.
