Title: Teacher's Cross
Post by: Dan26 on August 23, 2013, 03:55:18 pm
A friend of mine, that I and he went to different high schools together, gave me a bunch of cedar boards. In return, I asked him what he wanted and he said a cross to hang on the wall at work. He is a teacher so I went straight to Sue May's sight and bought the pattern. It was tough to find a piece of cedar without knots as I didn't want to detract from the design. I think it came out pretty good. The backer is 1/4" plywood with ebony stain. Finished with 3 coats of Deft satin lacquer.

Looks great! The letters in school look hard to cut being small, but they look great from what I see.

Dan - nice workmanship as always, but not a pattern I'd cut. We reserve the crucifix for a single purpose.
