Frosty Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Crosses don't have "correct" measurements so I don't know what to tell you. Have you made split crosses from easier to work stock, say 3/8"? A couple inches of 3/8" sq. has pleasing proportions. 1/2" sq about 4" makes a nice crucifix. I've never made one from 3/4" so I'd start off making one or several from 3/8" making notes of how far I split and how much overlap I left. Then when I started getting ones I liked I'd double those measurements and give 3/4" a try. With crossed fingers! Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shainarue Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 I have this printout. I don't recall what site it came from but the note at the top indicates a YouTube channel. I can't find a file or bookmark anywhere so I just took a picture of the printout for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad J. Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Like most things, I go by eyeball. I've done 1 inch square stock. To forever to chisel through but that was a while back. Do yourself a favor and draw it on first, cold chisel it in so you can see the design hot, and build a good holddown of some type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
