Here's a couple pics of the cross hubby did. He had a pattern originally, but the commandments didn't match the way we learned them and we couldn't find any that did. I also didn't like the shape of the cross. It was like a shamrock with a longer lower petal. So, he decided I should make a pattern for him....lol He has to drill tiny holes for him to fit his tiny saw blade through for every letter and/or part letter. 510 holes. This is how it looks. It's a good thing God didn't have more rules. I couldn't have done it.....lol   |

He really does some beautiful jobs. Of course I think the two cut out ferrets I have that he made are just the bee's knees  |

It's for sale, but it's really one of those things he doesn't expect to sell. The price will be too high because of the time it took to do. We have discovered though that one never can tell.

And I forgot to say what a clever girl you are too Neo. What a team.
When I was making my stained glass panels etc. I always said it was a form of slave labour. One never can charge for the number of hours put into the making. First the plan and drawing and then the work. Oh but how satisfying to see the finished creation.

Techinically, it is a business now, but that's because it's a hobby that got out of hand....lol
Good grief.....a cousin of his wants one, sight unseen.
