The true meaning of Easter.



The true meaning of Easter can often be overlooked in the commercialization of the holiday. A couple week ago Ken Chastain emailed me with an idea that I think shows what Easter is all about. Ken and I got together today and put together a project that I think you will enjoy cutting.

The pattern is simple but the idea behind the pattern is very meaningful to many of us. Ken bought a small wooden egg and designed a jig to allow him to cut it on the scroll saw. What came out of this is the beautiful cross in the picture above.

Ken and I got together in the shop and produced the video below to demonstrate the technique so you can build your own.


If you are viewing this in the email newsletter you may not see the video. Please visit my blog where you can watch it in the daily post.
