From Antique Cypress

Finished crosses, about 2 1/2" high

From an antique cypress board, rough sawn and previously stained, I resawed and from one of the pieces made about 52 nice crosses.  Half of them I stained with Minwax Puritan Pine and the others with Dark Mahogany.  I bought a can of General Finishes Arm-R-Seal satin urethane which was recommended to me by Chalon Olivier.  Three coats were applied, sanding lightly before each coat. It dried well overnight, and I am very pleased with the result - no pooling or bubbles.  Started on 12/20/2021, completed on 1/11/2022.
