Happy Easter Everyone!

In light of Easter, I would love to see what cross projects others have designed. I'm working on a new one inspired by one I saw from "Self-Taught Woodworking" (in glueup now).

Here are some I've built over the years:

Used some of the corners left from making frames.

This is a larger one (22+ inches tall) that is made from some pretty walnut that is in our kitchen.

Those are all amazing! Beautiful work!!

Excellent all around @BB1 Barbara. Great use of small leftovers. The top picture using the small corners leftover frames are really nice especially the one using all the walnut. Thanks for sharing.

I've made many but unfortunately didn't take photos. However this is one I made recently that probably had been seen before in my post.

Happy Easter!!

Barb... here it is hanging in our breakfast dining area.

That is a great collection of crosses. Mine is turned. Had to do a lot of research when I started doing them as to proportion. This is a old pic but basics are still there

@MrRick really like that cross design, and the wall hanging above the cross is really great too.

Thank you Barb!

Proportions aren't "standard" on many of mine as I went more by eye than measurements. Trying to pay better attention to that aspect.

I found the most accepted formula is each of the top three bars are equal and the bottom is twice any of the others.

Actually the cross used most by Ancient Rome was a " T ". Sometimes they used what is familiar today. It depended on the one to be crucified and the type of cross that yielded a specific torture value.

Gruesome!

Yes - thank you for that.

Also saw this a few places: "The horizontal piece is 1/2 of the height and located down from the top 1/4 of the way."

Thinking that width also plays into merging the two recommendations.

Lots of good information and lots of great work thanks to all
