My Father- in- law is coming to vist next weekend from Vermont, he is a 4th Degree Knight of Columbus and is very involved with the Catholic church. Well the guy was nice enough to let me marry his daughter so I figured I would make him a little something to take back home with him. ( he is going by plane so it has to be smallish)
SO here we go…..
First the rough cut on the bandsaw
It is out of pine…. I decided to make is a bit thiner as the Cross was cut from 3/4 stock it is now close to 1/2”
Then I routed the edge using an Ogee bit…. it came out pretty cool I think…..
I am debating if I want to remake the Cross out of Oak or Mahogany or if I should give him the prototype I am working on( once it is finished) All in All I would say it was a good time in the shop today…............
Be safe everyone and thanks for reading!!!!

I’ll bet Mahogany would look really nice!
Great looking cross.

I’m with Lew, I’ll bet that would look great in Mahogany, especially considering how nice it looks in pine.

Why not both inlay the lighter color oak in the center with some really nice pattern?
