"Elipse Butsudan" A butsudan is a Buddhist altar found in most Japanese homes. The traditional altar is very ornate and boxy, but I have taken the basic elements and interpreted them in many different contemporary western design styles. This one is based on the plan of the ellipse, made of Hawaiian Koa and Camphorwood burl. $12,000
"Art Deco" made of quilted Maple with padauk and purpleheart accents. The accessories are turned from the same woods. $6500 Accesories $1200	Hi! Thanks for checking out the butsudans on my website. I have been an SGI-USA member for 35 years. There are many different types of Buddhisms that use butsudans, each having its own requirements. Because of this, I am only familiar with the design requirements of SGI-USA Nichiren Buddhism, and so can only make butsudans for SGI-USA practitioners.  All of the butsudans shown here have prices based on the least expensive domestic woods like Cherry, Maple, Ash and oak, therefore, the price can be higher  depending on the type of wood you select.  There are about 120 commercially available species of wood, and their prices fluctuate with time, so it is impossible to list them here.  I have more butsudan designs, but these have been the most popular. Email me at jps@woodschool.org Thanks, Pete Schlebecker
"Elegant Simplicity" is a Butsudan set that combines a less expensive Butsudan with a parsons-style table set that has rounded shoulders to soften and dress-up the look. Shown here in Cherry with Jatoba trim $2400. The accessories are extra ($800) and can also be turned out of the same woods.  The table can be simplified and made without the rounded shoulders which drops the price to only $1900. Butsudan by itself is $1100.	"Octagon" is based on the plan section of an octagon. I have made this one many times in slightly different proportions. This one is in teak and ebony. $6000.  Butsudan by itself is $3000.
