4" high, 2 1/2" across, 3/8" wide |
In September of 2010 in my new workshop, I completed my first "batch" of crosses made from apple. I set a goal to make thousands of crosses and give them away. Having surpassed the goal, I will continue as long as I can. It is a joy! (This blog focuses on the material aspect of making crosses rather than the best part - the spiritual act of giving them away.)

Mesquite - made in 2012
Looking back through my photos, I remember these beautiful 4" high crosses that I made in June of 2012 from mesquite given to me by artist John Geldersma who lives north of Santa Fe. Mesquite is a complex wood with rich color, enhanced in this batch of 15 crosses by a couple of coats of Danish oil.
