Wooden Cross, Handmade Rustic Filigree/Fretwork Cross made from New Reclaimed Unfinished Hardwood Flooring, Christian Wall Hanging Art 1252573400

  Wooden Cross, Handmade Rustic Filigree/Fretwork Cross made from New Reclaimed Unfinished Hardwood Flooring, Christian Wall Hanging Art Buy Now: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1252573400/    I made this cross in my woodworker shop using traditional woodworking tools. The cross is made from hardwood flooring samples that were being thrown away by one of my neighbors. The crosses are made entirely from reclaimed or recycled materials and are thus unique in that it is unlikely that I will be able to get more. There is no finish on the cross other than what was on the top of the flooring. There are small seams where the tongue and groove flooring is glued together. The seam is not very visible from the front, but it is visible on the back. This cross is intended to be used for a wall or door decoration. There are five different crosses available in this collection. Follow the link below to see the ones that are currently available. More Crosses https://www.etsy.com/shop/odinst...

How Package Fragile Filigree or Fretwork Crosses for Shipping

Image
  Filigree Fretwork Cross Made From Laminated Harwood Flooring Samples After making two of these, I needed to devise a way to package them for shipping. I got many good suggestions for several people experienced at shipping this type of item. I combined the suggestions with my own experience and packaging materials and settled on the following. The heavest cross so far is 3oz. Packing them and getting them under the USPS 16oz First Class Package limit should be no problem. I can make boxes if needed.  My customers had never chosen high-cost priority mail shipping when they did not have to because of the weight. Going to USPS priority mail more than doubles the shipping cost. Keeping the weight below 16oz is a goal. I like using air pillows for padding. I wrap my item in air pillows that are taped together tightly. If there is room in the box, I fill it with more air pillows or some other lightweight material I have. The item itself is also wrapped with stretch wrap. Most of wh...

Cuting a Filigree Cross From Laminated Hardwood Flooring

Image
  Filigree Fretwork Cross Made From Laminated Harwood Flooring Samples   I recently acquired some laminated hardwood flooring samples. With the price of the wood so high, I was eager to see what I could make with it. I did a lot of reading on the internet and found no consensus. Flooring seems so variable that you must try it and see if it will work. I decided that some cross patterns would be perfect for this. Initially, the patterns were for Christmas ornaments. Using Inkscape and Gimp, I created SVG files and enlarged them to eight inches wide. Enlarging made the crosses large enough to use as wall art and more suited to the thickness of the flooring. The flooring samples are mounted on a hardboard backing. I thought they were glued on but soon discovered this was not the case. They were held together with tiny steel pins. When cutting the first cross, I had to add tape to hold everything in place, and when cutting my second cross, I hit one of the steel pins w...
