Popular Post TAIrving Posted March 5, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 A friend, furniture maker and source of nice scraps of wood, requested a small Christian cross. I did this one, using some of the wood he gave me. The wood is Acacia from his family ranch in central Texas. I resawed it to 1/4" thickness and is about 8" tall. The first picture shows the 3 parts separate and the second picture shows the 3 parts assembled. For those who are religious, it has the symbology of the holy trinity. wombatie, Jim Blume, Charlie E and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankEV Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 Very nice. Just a thought. If you had stack cut two layers, say Acacia and Maple, you could have a two sets when assembled. One dark, light, dark and one light, dark, light. Jim Blume 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 Nice representation. Just a thought,If they were compound cut "on a slight angle" each piece would nest slightly higher than the previous, adding a greater dimension and interest. I am by no means demeaning your cutting, just expressing thoughts out-loud and the option of another technique.

I gave it a try using acacia and red oak and here is the very preliminary result, still a good bit of sanding and finishing work to go.
