Custom work

Crosses & Faith

Crosses, scripture pieces and memorial signs. The face of Christ cross and the gothic arch cross get asked for the most. Both are cut by hand, one inside line at a time, and there are hundreds of those cuts in a single piece. Any size, painted or stained however you want it.

$145

The starting price is for the smallest size I cut, 24 inches, in a straightforward design. Bigger sizes and more layers cost more. You get a firm price before anything gets cut.

Standard sizes

Standard24"–30"The size most people order. Fits over a door or a desk.
Large31"–36"Reads as the main piece on a wall, with room for more layers.
XL37"–42"Sized for over a couch, a bed or a garage bench.
Statement43"–48"+Full wall size. I quote these one at a time.

Sizes are measured on the longest side. Wide pieces like name signs measure across, tall pieces like crosses measure top to bottom, so a 37" cross is 37" tall.

I don't cut anything under 24". Below that the inside cuts get too tight to keep clean with a jigsaw.
