In this video I make a custom wooden cross out of Cocobolo and Ash as a surprise gift for my incredible secretary Tracy. Honestly, this was a super fun and straight forward project that had no issues because I decided to draft a full size drawing for it. A to scale drawing is obserable at the 0:40 second mark. Make sure you watch until the end to see her reaction!

Let me know - what woods do you think would pair together well to make for a beautiful wooden cross?

@BrooksBroussard-e8g Месяц назад

Any wood that is burled

Love the design of it. Elegant and simple but still a piece you will notice and admire. Very well done.

That is a beautiful Crucifix you designed and made. Love the choices of wood you used, the perfect compliment to each other. She obviously loved it. Very well done, congratulations !!

@williamlawson1999 4 месяца назад

That is not a crucifix. That is a cross. A crucifix has the image of Christ still on the cross. We all know Christ is not still on the cross.

Thank you so much for the kind words! I appriciate it very much, and yes, it has brought great joy!

Recommend you rise your blade a little higher. Several times during cutting your wood raised up. You should have at least 3 gullets showing above the cut. That makes the saw dust exit better from the cut. You get less burning and more control of the wood. Nice project.

@theimaginationwoodshop5886 4 месяца назад

That is fantastic feedback, thank you! That was a very dense and hard wood I was cutting, and truth be told - I need to get my blade sharpened. It's time.

Beautiful. What it represents is truly beautiful. I like when I give a handmade gift, it usually includes some of what I did to produce said gift!😅

@theimaginationwoodshop5886 4 месяца назад

Agreed 100%. Nothing better than something handmade that comes from the heart.

This gives me an idea. I have a friend whom I was stationed with in Germany. Might just have to make one like this for her!

Very nice! I might try one similar. I’m a very amateur woodworker but a professional musician. Thanks for the video

@theimaginationwoodshop5886 4 месяца назад

You absolutely should. It's not a particularly tough piece, so it's perfect for beginning and mid level wood workers. Musician? Cool, what type of music are we talking?

@bobbyfritzmusic6685 4 месяца назад

@@theimaginationwoodshop5886 Yes for sure. My channel features shred guitar techniques and music theory. I’m also a singer so I have some new songs I’ve written that are Patriotic. Please check them out! Thanks!

Thank you, I was super happy with the final look. Just what I had envisioned.

@jalvarez9136 4 месяца назад

Very nice, I would have used CA glue and accelerator for the glue up, very nice project though..

@theimaginationwoodshop5886 4 месяца назад

Using CA glue with an accelerator certinaly been faster, but also more expensive. Unless it's going to be an awkward glue up where I might not be able to get good clamping pressure - then I would use CA. In a regular application such as this I always default to wood glues. Defintely a good option though. Thanks for the input and thanks for watching!

@leonardbutler9338 4 месяца назад

Wonderful concept, beautifully executed with a stunning result. Such a nice, personal gift. However...the light colored wood is maple, not ash.

@theimaginationwoodshop5886 4 месяца назад

So I'm glad you said that. I have multiple pieces of ash and maple that I got in a mix pile that I use. However, looking at it in person, I'm 99% sure it was one of my pieces of Ash. I could be wrong, but love both species of wood. Thanks for watching!

@leonardbutler9338 4 месяца назад

@@theimaginationwoodshop5886 45 yrs of experience tells me it is not ash. Ash resembles oak. It is an open porous wood while maple is closed grained and smooth. Best wishes!

@glenschmeisser6633 2 месяца назад

At 7:08...What is that solution you are putting on the wood?

@theimaginationwoodshop5886 2 месяца назад

For this project I went super simple and just did boiled linseed oil. Normally I use Teak or Tung oil, but I didn't want to have the wood darken too much.

I don't have plans posted, sorry. You can see all the necessary measurements at 44 seconds in. Thought about only after I messed up my initial drawing.
