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!

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.
