Why do we build Traditional Panel Icons?
Originally posted on Orthodox Christian Supply Blog:
I wanted to take a moment and comment on why we are in the process of closing out our “standard panel icons” and will soon be moving to exclusively the Traditional Panel option. From our end, we feel that this style of panel is much more in line with the… -

Hanging Hardware for the Traditional Panel Icons
Due to customer request, Orthodox Christian Supply now provides a sawtooth hanger with the the purchase of any Traditional Panel icon.

It was the Traditional Panel concept that was, in fact, the impetus for us opening an online Orthodox icon store in the first place.

A closer look at what goes into our Traditional Panel icons
Our signature product, the Traditional Panel icons, are made with the upmost care. We begin with carefully selected 4/4 solid poplar. Then we route dovetailed keyways through the reverse and insert the red oak splines. This process is to keep the panel from warping over time, the same process as used in hand painted […] -
