This is an attractive compact meditation altar that is ideal to place on a tabletop, dresser or other piece of furniture.  I crafted this table from solid oak and gave it a hand rubbed all-natural food safe oil finish that is velvet smooth to the touch.  The altar measures 11.25 inches deep, 26 inches long and stands 5.5 inches high. The pedestal is removable, it is 6.5 inches deep, 15 inches long and stands 5.0 inches tall. NOTE!  All my altars are fully assembled and finished. NOTE!  This altar has an all-natural food safe finish with no polyurethanes or solvents.

COLOR:  I stock this altar in a natural  food safe old school hand rubbed finish. The finish is basically clear, but it does darken the oak which enhances the wood grains appearance.

The Yankee Woodsmith....I am known worldwide for my very high-quality wood crafts. I have over 50 years' experience as a Master Woodworker and I pay close attention to detail. All the joints are glued, screwed and then I plug the holes with matching wood plugs. I have been involved with the martial arts since 1962 and have practiced meditation for many years.  My meditation stools and benches are designed from actual use and experience; as a result, they are constructed to give you the proper support needed for a comfortable meditation session. 

The spiritual qualities of oak:
Truth, steadfast knowledge, protection ………To the ancient Celtic people, oak was the protector, provider, benevolent king of the trees.  Oak provided the people shelter in the form of building material, protection by providing material for weapons, and nourishment through its edible acorns. Oak is an excellent healing wood.  Connected strongly to the Earth, it can easily channel natural life energies, and help sense where healing might be needed.  This wood helps center the mind, allowing it to focus on the task at hand and ignore distractions.  It can also help bring about desirable change in love matters.  Oak help promote both observation and intuition. Oak provides a very balanced energy, skewed neither toward the light or the darkness.
