I designed this cross in 2009 for a very good doctor friend who always over extends herself and has helped a lot of people. The cross measures 4 feet tall by 2-1/2 feet wide. I used scarps of 7 different species to make up the spirit of the cross. Scraps that we are from the almighty block, Black, White or whatever skin color (represented by the different tones of wood), Rich or Poor (represented by the levels or height of the panels), we Catholics and Christians all agree and meet at one point…..... GOD IS GOOD!
The ends of the 4 points of the cross are uneven in length because others will take longer to get to the point. The center of the cross is where all humanity meets in faith.
God bless you all!

Right on benji, your worlds were even better than you piece. You know its interesting that Christ was a carpenter. There is something about woodworking that gives us special spiritual insight i think. WWJD, well I think we’re in the right vocation at least.
