Simple Wooden Crosses

Some Simple Woodwork

Again another project was done during a short holiday at the parent’s. This time I made some wooden crosses that I will use when I make some large rosaries that could be worn with a habit.

Not much to this, just cutting up some 12x12mm Tasmanian Oak and doing a simple join between them.

It could have been a little tidier if I was not using a full-sized Tenon saw and had something smaller, but it is what I had. I did the first few, one at a time, but then started cutting them out in batches of four. I used a Mahogany stain on them at the end with a coat of varnish.

When I use these crosses, they will appear again in a future post.

A simple project, but I needed them for the next part. However, I have done other things before that had a little more to them, such as a box for a chalice and a book stand, which I will share the photos of here. I also got some Christmas-themed things I did, but I am saving them to share in December. Next time I am on holiday, I want to try making a prie-dieu/kneeler.
