Here it is, my progress on the cross this week. This is about all the woodworking I did this last week. I’ve been putting a lot of my creative time into writing.

I’ve started cutting on the right hand side. Still saving the middle for last.

This is the back of the cross. You start to see how the finished piece is going to look.
Just a short post tonight as I want to get back to my poetry writing. I am getting closer to finishing two projects – this cross and my book.
If you need me – I’ll be in the shop (or at the keyboard).

Kudos to you. I see that is is minute detailing. I don’t know if I would have patience. Probably I am pretty tenacious when I start something. Is it therapeutic for you?

It is very detailed. Each cutout is no larger than my thumbnail. I find the cutting to be meditative and somewhat prayerful. Think it of it as a ritual of work.
