Filigree Crosses
« on: February 26, 2014, 02:37:03 pm »
These are the Filigree Cross designs that Sheila was kind enough to post last Easter - that time's coming up again. They are scaled up to 5" wide and cut from 1" thick birch using several FDUR#5 blades (this wood is really hard). The stand is a bent piece of 3/32" welding wire stuck into a 2"x2.5"x1" birch base. Finished with Feed n Wax. They are headed to this weekend's Mardi Gras Silent Auction at our parish.

Excellent job on them.  Shrink the pattern so that the cross is around 4 inches tall and put a loop on the top and then cut it from 1/4 in. stock and you could have a necklace.  Shrink it even further to around 1 1/2 inches and you could make earrings.  Thanks for sharing these with us.

Thanks all. DW - I think the originals from Sheila were meant to be small. I cut some last year in 1/4" rosewood for some friends. I think they were about 2" wide. The rosewood is very dense, so they had a nice weight to them. I did not try earrings, but I'd pay a dollar for some that small - that would be some intricate cutting. :)
