I know some of you thought (or hoped) since I am at a show for 10 days you would not hear from me. But since it is usually slow in the mornings I bring projects to work on. 2 of the crosses are Russian Olive & 1 is willow. About 9” tall about 6” in diameter.

Thanks for looking.

I’m not one of them!
These crosses are GREAT. I really like the way you carved them and left the base attached. Again, a really unique twist on an old design.

How is the show going??

Those are great crosses. i like how you left the bottom pure natural. Did you turn them first or just cut them from the solid piece? May I borrow your design?

I actually cut it down with a chainsaw first then a Saburr Tooth cutters and then sanding. Probably should sand more than I do. Russian Olive breaks on me a lot, so I limit how much o rough it up.

I can’t believe you cut those out with a chainsaw! That doesn’t sound safe but you must have figured a safe way to hold them solid. I have a pic with the wood in one hand and the chainsaw in the other! Be careful. One “Stumpy” on this site is enough.

Branch strapped to stand tightly. Not cut off till the rough cuts are made and clean up left.

That’s pretty cool. I was thinking you turned them. I may try turning one like this.

Nead idea Monte. Thanks for sharing. And let us know how you fared at the show. Any statistics would be a great help.
