A church pew is a long, solid bench, often with carved ends and an old finish. Its length is the challenge, so it needs a team to keep it level and protect the joinery from racking.
Pro tip: Two dollies, one at each end, let a small crew move a long pew level and controlled instead of muscling it.
Watch out: Never lift a long pew by one end; the span flexes and the seat-to-end joints crack or loosen.
