After nearly 3 months of not working in the shop (amazing how busy one can be at home during the COVID-19 pandemic), I used some rough sawn old heart pine and made 44 crosses 2 3/4" high. Half were rough sawn on one side. Having the can of Old Hickory stain sitting on my workbench from the prior batch, I stained them and then applied two coats of poly as I usually do to finish them. When totally dry, I burnished the smooth sides on burlap for a finishing touch.

This was the first time I've used the Old Hickory stain on heart pine and probably the last. The finished crosses look very nice, but I think my Puritan Pine stain looks better.
