Working on a wedding present for my son

[koehler788]

My future daughter in law asked me to make her and my son this cross for their wedding. She is going to distress the cross and add the " nails and rope"the finished pic is what she showed me and the other is what I came up with. It is unassembled awaiting for her to do the cross. I will assemble everything after she gets her lettering and cross painted. 

This is not my forte and I am for sure that I won't be doing anymore large projects like this...lol

the plywood measures 24" x 17" I used 1/2" construction plywood an low grade 1"x 3" pine boards  roughened up the smooth boards and knocked down the plywood. I didn't want to unpack my table saw for 1 cut, so I cut one of the long sides on my scrollsaw.

Must have been a real trick cutting those long straight lines with a scroll saw.  Looks like it is going to be a very nice piece.

I only cut one side...lol

I have become fairly decent at straight lines.  All I needed was I little hand sanding with coarse sandpaper and used a straight edge to see if it was straight.
