The first of the beautiful copper arch bows is complete!

When we were discussing the “clouds”, the ornamental details on the sides of the upper bow a few posts ago, we mentioned we were not planning to install them until the parts arrived to the cathedral site.  We changed our minds.  It took a day or so of renegotiating the shipping crate design whereas it would have taken many times that amount of time and effort for on-site assembly.  The entire ornamental piece will be safely contained in its new, custom crate.

Please check out our detail project pictures below!  It’s a pretty thing, isn’t it?
