It's a very sturdy & hard timber, as you cannot drive a nail into it without predrilling before hand. It comes up a beautiful timber especially when varnished. I'll check for sure at our next meeting.

I did some checking out this morning and "YES"....the're about 80-90 years old.
They were made locally(here in Geraldton) and more so than not......handcrafted.
Most of the furniture in my lodge appears to be of the same timber.......which....I don't know yet.....maybe Jarrah, which is a hardwood found here in Western Australia.
I also found that the Wardens columns are handcrafted as are the 3 Columns within the Lodge.

Brother CAMB MASON, I would be honored to give you more pictures of the Alter that Worshipful Brother Charles (Chic ) Dyas built in the back of his little barber shop in the tiny town of Cedarville Ohio. I do know that 3 Grand Masters took there obligations at Grand Lodge on his alter. When I get off second shift I will take my camera to lodge. He was trully a great Mason and loved his lodge. I had the honor of sitting in lodge with him in his later years. He was trully awesome!!
Thanks
Stevep Past Master
Cedarville 622
PS That alter in that room is where I took my obligation when I became in 2002 as Master of the lodge.

Chrism242, that is a beautiful Lodge. The big hall can seat a 200 or more people.
But question, the windows are still open to the outside, how do you keep eavesdroppers from watching the Ritual? |

That is a big building and very impressive.
I like the inside also, but question........why the red carpet. ?
I thought most Blue Lodges opted for "blue" carpet.

Yes, we have shingles on the roof. That is normal for most homes and many buildings here.
My interior pictures are terrible. Our Lodge room is very poorly lighted - which makes for some bad pictures. I can assure you, however, that it is not one of the most beautiful Lodge rooms. The dark green carpet and burnt orange theater seating reflect the times in which the building was constructed (1960s). We do have a beautiful altar and columns, however. All four were handmade by one of our members. The pictures of those aren't good, but I'll throw them up here:

The Lodge was built around the 1930's and is constructed of sandstone, which is very common around here. It now has a Heritage listing by my State of WA. Edited by tm274 - October/24/2008 at 11:13pm |
