The choice of DuPont Corian for the refurbishment of the oratory seems well-suited for a project that requires flexibility, beauty, and the ability to create unique yet simple items. Here are some key points highlighted in your description:

1. Material Selection – DuPont Corian:
   • Flexibility: DuPont Corian is known for its flexibility, allowing craftsmen to create unique and custom designs. This is crucial for a project where practicality and beauty are both important.
   • Silky Vein: The silky vein of Corian likely adds a touch of elegance and a unique aesthetic to the items created for the oratory.
2. Attention to Detail and Practicality:
   • Craftsmanship: The experience and skills of Shaker’s craftsmen and technical design team played a key role. This emphasizes the importance of both expertise and attention to detail in creating items that are not only beautiful but also practical.
   • Technical Designs: The emphasis on technical designs suggests a commitment to ensuring that the items not only look good but also function effectively within the oratory space.
3. Communication and Alignment with Community Values:
   • Engagement with Father Martin: Regular communication with Father Martin throughout the project shows a commitment to understanding and incorporating the values of the community into the design. This ensures that the final outcome resonates with the beliefs and preferences of the people using the oratory.
4. Specific Items Fabricated by Shaker:
   • Baptism Bath/Coffin Stand: The dual functionality of the baptism bath also serving as a coffin stand reflects a thoughtful approach to practicality and space utilization.
   • Pulpit and Throne: The use of marbelised DuPont Corian with integrated gold mosaic features for the pulpit and throne suggests a desire for a luxurious and visually striking appearance in key elements of the oratory.
