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.
