Our daughter was recently baptized and I made this cross for her room. I made my first cross for my nephew a few years ago and then for his brother, so it has become a bit of a tradition.
It is black walnut with maple. Finished with Minwax Antique Oil (always looks good on the black walnut).
With the “scraps” I made little clocks for her godmother and godfather.
This is my first project with my new Incra Miter gauge – sure made a difference with the 45’s at the center.

Mike,
This cross is beautiful. The maple and walnut make a nice contrast to one another.
Thanks for the post.
