Red Oak Lectern

This year I made a lectern for the astronomy department colloquium room out of red oak. The lectern now serves as a functional, yet attractive addition to the room.

The lectern is equipped with the necessary cables for projection from a laptop. The cables run out of the bottom to be connected to the wall.

Construction

You can never have too many clamps. The facing holds on to the lectern only by glue, keeping the facing smooth and flawless.
