FORGED IRON CROSS with Wood Grain Texture - Hand Forged by Blacksmith Naz - Iron Cross with Copper Rivet - Christian Cross

Forged in fire, this large cross measures approximately 6" high x 3" wide...

I use 2 pieces of solid 1/2" x 1/2" square bar, heat them up in the forge, give them a "real" wood grain texture and force them "in" together, this creates a "bulge" at the touching point... I then add a hammered copper rivet...

Each one is unique.

I drill a small hole at the top of the cross and slide a large jump ring in place... I will include a decorative wood screw to accomodate wall hanging...

I put a lot of importance in cleaning my items after they have been hammered, bent into shape, and "in and out" of the fire numerous times...I acheive the clean look you see in the photos by using sandpaper, this leaves each item with a clean attractive look that is perfect for gift giving...

After cleaning, I clear coat the cross for protection and to keep the raw iron look.

PS : The one in the photos is one I made previously, your's will be based and of equal quality as this one...

Thanks for the interest !
