Another covered cross

[lmroces]

That is very pretty! Did you wet mold around a wooden cross? Is it covered on the back?

Thank you, Gezzer, for responding. Do you glue the leather, then? I love the look!

I cut the cross out of 1/2 inch A/B (smooth ) plywood  , then 5/8 strips out of the  leather and use contact cement  on the wood edges and the strips .  Apply and trim flush front and back , next same with face and trim , bevel edge and burnish , apply finish .

 

 

ps:  I tool the face before gluing it on
