MEANING: To Christians, the trinity knot represents the Holy Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In the bottom leg of the cross, you will see two trinity knots base to base. This is a symbol called Serch Bythol, a symbol of undying love...Used here, it can symbolize Christ’s love for mankind. The earliest Christians extended the bottom leg of the Celtic Wheel Cross to create the Celtic Christian Cross. The circle woven around the vertical and horizontal members defines the Celtic Christian cross. This is a new woven cross design that Coop has created using Trinity knots within the framework of the cross.

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.
SIZE: 17 inches high, 11 inches wide
