Pault17 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 A family invited us over for a Spanish (Catillano, not Latino) Christmas get-together. I have only met the husband and wife once and they were evidently impressed with us:o So I figured I would bring along a gift from us to them. made from 3/4" square, cut and split. textured with a narrow cross pein. polished to shiny then oxidized for coloring - purple outside to straw inside. overall height is about 7.25 inches. bottom was drilled and tapped, and the base is oak scrap painted with felt glued to the bottom. Cross is beeswaxed, the base is spray laquered. I know they are strong Christians, so I hope they like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Creek Blacksmith Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 (edited) What Christian wouldn't like it? Looks very nice, I made cross necklaces last year for all my nieces and nephews and they like them. Had their friends ask where they got them from. Enjoy your time with your friends.

Kendrick Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Well, I'll try again. I tried to say that was awesome when you first posted the pic. Which, by the way, it's still awesome! For some reason my computer hiccuped or something and it didn't post. Better late than never? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
