ID:	81866 I love carving this cross and finishing it.
    Going to carve another and use weathered gray stain and
    then a black stain and as a glaze effect.
    Cross is 13" tall and 9.5 wide finished with Summer Oak and matte
    finish. rubbed down with 4-0 steel wool.

    This a is for a 78 year old friend of mines aunt
    whom is visiting from Peru at this time. Will give it to her today.
    Happy Carving

    I have often wondered why it is that
    Conservatives are called the "right" and Liberals are called the "left".
    "The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of
    the fool to the left."

    I love that pattern and I think it is one pattern that most of us like to carve. Great carving and great story Robert.

ID:	81870Here is a photo taken yesterday when I give her the cross.

    One of the flue times I am with the receiver of the carving.

    I could carve this Cross a 100 times over and never tire of it.
    It has much to say.
