MARRIAGE CROSS

Project by dlcarver posted 540 days ago 241 views 1 time favorited 5 comments Add to Favorites Watch

I have been carving Wedding Crosses, or Marriage Crosses for probably about 35 years now. Of course they must be custom made, and I need about 2 weeks to do one. They are usually made from white pine wood, and are 15” long x 10” across x 3/4” thick stock. It is self explanitory actually with the interlocking rings of marriage and the man’s first name on the left cross bar, and the girl’s first name on the right cross bar. Then under the rings down the vertical cross beam goes the month, the day of the month, and the year of marriage. These are also used for Anniversaries. I have also made them for special ocassions with out the interlocked rings with other printing marking the ocassion. I have also painted the lettering and rings Gold before, marking Golden Anniversaries.

I urge everyone to respect my right of design…. I have never seen another design like this with the names and dates. Thank You! ......... If you wish to order one please contact me… with shipping I would like to have 3 weeks notice

Dave,

This is a beautiful piece and the design is very interesting.

This is a piece that I am sure the couple will cherish.
