This is a One of a Kind listing. These pictures are of the Cross you will receive, not stock photos.
Coop’s Celtic Christian Cross with Katrina’s wood burning. The main knot Katrina (Hi! That’s me) used is the Celtic Heart, Knot of Everlasting Love placed on the end of each arm of the cross. The bottom leg of the cross has the knot on the top (just below the center of the cross) and the at the base. When designing the first one, I was playing with hearts to continue with the Everlasting Love theme. The Hearts kind of flowed into Flowers and this became a Springtime meaning in my mind. I’ve waffled on what to call it for 3 years because I didn’t know what to call it, so it hasn't been posted until now! It is Love, it is Flowers, it is Spring and New Beginnings.
SIZE: 14 Inches Tall by 9 Inches Wide
THE CARVING:
Our carvings are single pieces of western red cedar, designed and carved to be wall hangings. Each carving begins as a 1 X 12 inch cedar board. While we use power tools (Scroll Saw, Rotary shaft Tool, handheld detail sanders etc.), we use no laser’s, CNC machines or computer operated cutting machines. All work is done with our hands and eyes…
We cut the 2 dimensional blanks with scroll and jig saws (double-sized custom orders have to be cut with jigsaw). Carving is done with rotary shaft tools and disc grinders. The 80 grit sanding is the final phase of the carving process, removing the nicks and gouges from the carving tools, and finishes the shaping of the weave. The next 2 sandings with 120 then 220 grit finishes the smoothing and polishing. They are finished with Clear Danish Oil to seal the piece, bringing out the grain and the color.
