Between March 2-11 from a 5/16" thick piece of mesquite, I made 25 3" tall crosses from 3/8" wide strips.

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.)
