Cross!

[kkwall]

Hi All,


My wife works beside a lady who has been through some very difficult times of late, and she asked if I could make her a simple cross. She asked that it in some way symbolised the crusification, but showed that christ was no longer on the cross.


I made the below cross, which I hope she likes! The holes I thought could be symbolic of the crusifiction.

That's real nice, Kenny. I dont see why she wouldn't like that. Tim

Very Nice Kenny... what is the wood.. I like the grain patterns.

is that BOW? and how big is it? I do like it though

Hi,


The wood is spalted elm, with a piece of African Blackwood holding the cross together at the centre of the mitre joint.


It would have been nice to make the cross in BOW, as the lady is a devout catholic, but at 10" (25cm's) I didn't have a piece big enough.


Thanks,

I love it. The photo is great too, the light coming from the top is an excellent idea for an item like this.
Great job!
