Teacher Cross

[rdatelle]

Hi everyone. Well I finally finished this piece. I went with the BLO first that a few of the scroller's suggested and a few coats of poly. This is made out of 1/2 Oak with a 1/8 BB backer.  I used a #3 ultra reverse on this piece. It's a Sue Mey pattern and it measures

17 x 11. I'm not sure if I'm going to give this to my teacher friend that I work with for xmas or for when she gets her doctors degree which will be in Dec to.

That came out good. I really like the design of this one.

That really is a great piece.  No matter when you give it to her, she will love it.

Kevin, I was thinking about stack cutting them but 1/2 in Oak would of been an inch and I thought it might be to thick to cut. I didn't want to take any chances with this one.

Well done, Ralph.  That is a large cross.

Beautiful work all around.  Really like the finish on it.  Makes it pop.  She will love it no matter if it is to commemorate her degree or for Christmas.  I was browsing around on Steve Good's site and he has several different "graduation" themed patterns there.  Perhaps you might find one that you could adapt for her graduation gift if you are still searching for ideas.

When you give it to her IT WILL MAKE HER DAY

Amazing job, very well done!!

Ralph, it's a beautiful cross, the BLO really made the grain pop. If the two occasions are close enough together, then I think the cross could be a gift to cover both.

Now that really popped since you added the finish and backer. Very beautiful and well done Ralph.

Thanks everyone for the tips and compliments. I have one more cross to do. This one is a firefighter one with all the fire items since I was a firefighter. I figured I might as well make something for me.

The detail is amazing!  I am sure she will be thrilled with it.  Thanks for sharing.
