Mesquite - 3"

Between March 2-11 from a 516" thick piece of mesquite, I made 25 3" tall crosses from 3/8" wide strips.  

Crosses made during Lent

These will be set aside with about 50 more from other wood to be given to those attending the 20th anniversary of the Rejoicing Spirits worship service for those with disabilities at Calvary Lutheran Church in West Chester, PA on October 20.
