Here is a Celtic Cross I was chosen to build last winter.I finished it 2 days before the day it was to be hung.After about 250 hours of work we placed it in the church chancel the day before easter.It was a surprise to all the people of the church except a few and a very exciting day for me.Working on this project was different than any project I had done before.Very rewarding.

“Very Rewarding.” I think that would be an understatement! A lot of detail.

Thank you,The celtic knotwork was a real chore,the over and unders would get confusing sometimes and the last thing I wanted to do was mess one up.Believe it or not they all came out perfect so I even did some down the sides of the cross but I don’t think you can see them in the pictures.

As a pastor, I’d love to be able to accomplish such a masterpiece.
Also, as a pastor, I’d like to add that you do as much with your woodworking to bring about change
as I do in my sermons! This is one amazing piece, and you should be so proud for all that your work will do!
What an amazing work.

A huge cross in a church symbolizes so much more than many appreciate.
You may never know how wonderful your cross you made is, but rest assured, someone else will appreciate it.
Peace, +Curtis.
