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.)

30 Walnut crosses ready for Easter
From a small piece of walnut 20 1/2" x 1 3/4", on 3/4/2019 I resawed and planed to result in 2 pieces 1/4" thick. Optimizing the wood, I chose to make 30 crosses 2 7/16" x 1 1/2". I finished them during Holy Week bringing my total to 2495.
