As readers of LAJ will know, I particularly enjoy featuring original woodcarving and today I wanted to share the four evangelists by ALBL Oberammergau. These particular sculptural reliefs were made for St. Ignatius of Loyola Catholic Church in Spring, Texas. I don't believe a great deal of commentary is necessary here, excepting for my usual comment about the superiority of proper carving in traditional materials such as wood.
