Our Crosses

Centering Cross   (regular and large size)

Throughout the world, faith always brings its followers to a spiritual center. For Christians, it is Jesus Christ. Using woods (based on availability) that are important to a wide variety of faiths, small strips are inlaid in such a way that they converge at the center of the cross.

Wood of Cross: Walnut
The inlay woods will be from four different faith traditions. These woods vary based on availability and your interests. I have used various Biblical woods (especially olive), woods from the 'nine sacred trees' from the Celtic tradition, sandalwood (very scarce), Shaman woods (Bubinga and Quaparobo). I am always looking for new woods to add to this list.  

Regular size, $35.00

Large size, $50.00

Chakana Cross

The cross (2”x2”) is a blending of the faith of the indigenous peoples of Peru and Christian theology. In a traditional Chakana Cross, the center has a hole that focuses the light of life. I place the ‘circle of hands’ at the center as an affirmation that God’s light is revealed in relationship with one another. There is a pair of hands on either side of the cross. The woods used are canary, myrtle and quaparobo.

Regular size, $35
