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. Quote 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
