Made on consignment for a church in
Mississippi, this cross is based on an earlier design, that was redrawn in
a much larger scale (6 feet tall with the base) and with some overall
changes to the shape. It was made of multiple pieces of Black
Walnut. The horizontal arms are one piece, the top and bottom are
another, and the arches notched in. The base is made of three
"frame like" sections that where pocket screwed and glued together
before they where stacked.
