Split Cross

Featured Replies

Anyone have instructions or a blueprint on making a split cross. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks, Chris.

If there is a blueprints of one, I can't locate it. They are sometimes called the Friedrich's cross. Hope this helps.

Also called the Celtic cross. Bps over the 200 number are not availeable right now but will be later not sure the number either.

The Saltfork Craftsmen have a little tutorial available for a key fob Friederick cross. It's on 2 pages, here's the links.

Hope this helps.

Could easily be scaled up for larger stock.

I have made these crosses and mount them on pieces of dessert drift wood to sell at demos. I have also seen marbles melted into the center hole for color. The first one I made for my wife had a pearl colored marble melted in the center because one of her favorite hymns is "I found a pearl of greastest price,"

Thanks for the replies. I think I understand now how it is done. Seems I saw one made at a demonstration once that was done without the hacksaw preparation. Hot cut chisel maybe?????

Great Hymn triw!

Thank you and yes I have seen them made with a hot cut just a lot more work

Chris Friedrich uses a chisel and leaves the hammer and chisel marks on to make it look rustic. He also makes large ones for grave crosses out of 2 1/2 inch material.
