Some wood in its' natural state just doesn't need stain or urethane; such was the case when I made 17 crosses from a piece of heart pine given to me years ago by Milford Crumplar. One side was rough sawn by a large blade at the sawmill. The other side when cut, was very resinous and made the workshop smell wonderful. It was slow sanding the crosses on the belt sander. The crosses were 2 3/4" tall including a couple from scrap that were 1 3/4" tall, 5/16" thick and 7/16" wide.
