Special Monthly Offering: Handmade Cross with Candle Lights
This month, we're excited to share a truly unique creation—our handmade Cross with Candle Lights. Like all our pieces, each one is custom-built and entirely one-of-a-kind.
The process begins with carefully cutting wood strips to specific lengths—for example, two at 11", two at 5", and so on. I then craft the candle platform, drilling three recesses to hold tea candles. After a thorough sanding of all surfaces, the real assembly begins.
Each strip is arranged to form a cross, and the candle platform is inserted into place. I flip the piece over and secure vertical support strips with both glue and nails, ensuring strength along the entire height of the cross. Once assembled, the glue is allowed to cure for a full day.
The final result can be left as beautiful natural wood, like the one shown in the picture, or stained in a color of your choice. These crosses not only bring a warm glow with their candles but also carry a meaningful spiritual presence. I genuinely enjoy making them and find great joy in each step of the process.
Until next time
