ThomasPowers Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 I've never seen a blacksmith made celtic cross; seen lots of the cristopher crosses made all over---but never considered them "celtic crosses". Our irish Living History group had a stone celtic cross as part of our kit---we did Y1K Ireland; but it was a small one compared to the real ones.

Tyler Murch Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 I heard that a Swiss smith named Christoph Freiderich came up with the method of making a cross like this one that I made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Glen that one on anvilfire does start to look like a celtic cross; the christopher cross does not to my eye. The large round bows being the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
