The first four years of ‘Crosses By Woody’ has been an exciting and challenging adventure. Wherever this journey has taken me, I have met or talked with people are drawn to the unique designs of these crosses. Each day I meet a new person whose story of faith finds expression through one of the crosses. People have wondered if I ever get tired of making the crosses and the detail precision of the joinery. I never do because I know that each cross I make is finding a deeper spiritual connection within a person’s life. I love my work because it is a new extension of the educational ministry that I enjoyed in the parish for so many years. My own faith has grown with a renewed appreciation of the greater faith journey that each of us are on and value those places of intersection where we can sit and talk about how to design a cross that is most expressive of the faith experience.

It is where the two stories meet that the designs of these crosses find the greatest expression. This is why I don’t have an inventory of pre-made crosses! I wish to honor each person’s faith story within a cross, bowl or spoon that is made for the individual. This is especially true for the custom crosses where both my design AND woodworking skills are stretched and challenged.
