If anyone between Surrey and Devon has Holm Oak available to Steve I can pick it up in January (Steve doesn't drive).

 

Yep, sure keeping yourself busy Steve.  Top work as ever.

no, it's yellow poplar, Liriodendron tulipfera.

 

it had to be fairly light as it will be carried by people as some sort of penance.

 

the cross weighs 23kg and the base is just for when it's not being carried around.

Lord God! (and pardon the intended Pun)

Tis a Penance FFS

Why must the cross therefore be light?

P.S.

On that basis, it might as well make it out of plastic.

i was asked for a lightweight cross and poplar is the cheapest timber to get that is relatively light at 30lbft3.

 

 

but yes, as penance the weight is not an issue except i did not want it to be top heavy as it could hurt someone if it were to get knocked over .

 

future ones may be made out of other species like ash or even oak so if they like my craftsmanship i may get repeat orders.

 

be great to do a big 12 footer in oak.
