Jim Finn Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) I made ten of these 4 1/2" x3/8" crosses to be hung on a rear view mirror. Folks here in West Texas collect crosses so these should sell easily. I was given a small piece of Lace-wood so I used it to make these. Tung oil and spray on clear finish.

Jim Finn Posted March 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I do not know where the tree for it grows. I could get it at my local hardwood supplier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson's Woodworking Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I found a 3"X3" piece of lace wood nailed to a pallet that my boss was going to burn. I snagged that sucker and resawed it to just over 1/2" for some intarsia projects. It is pretty cool looking stuff I had also bought some 3/4" lace wood for a sea turtle I have been working on. Funny I think the free piece is prettier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
