JimErn Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 (edited) I was asked if I could make a Unity Cross for a young couple getting married, I drew this up. I tried to make it like the ones that you use in the ceremony but the 1/4" poplar is just too fragile, and I did not want to take the chance of it breaking during the wedding (would be a very awkward moment) so I just wrote it up a little differently for the couple. The base is a slice of my pecan firewood, or maybe oak, not real sure. EDIT: I'm still new at this craft, so please criticisms and suggestions are really appreciated - only way I can get better.

newfie Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 It looks great to me thanks for sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 That is a really nice design! The natural edge base and added details really make this special. Since you asked, the only thing I would do different is use a 1/8 round over bit on the cross's frame to soften the edges. I have a thing about sharp edges, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimErn Posted June 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 Rolf I did knock off the sharp edge, though looking at the pic it doesn't look like it. Round over bit is an idea, I'll have to play with doing that, thanks. Thanks to all for your kind words. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
