Default Chip Carved Crosses

Hello,
I have been getting a lot of requests lately to make religious crosses. I have several patterns for Celtic crosses, but not really any kind of patterns for other crosses. I've seen what other people have done with chip carved crosses, but making your own designs and me don't get along. Does anyone know where I can find some good chip carving cross designs? I have done a google search and really didn't come back with any kind of usable patterns that I liked. Saw lots of pictures of stuff people had done that I liked, but I don't know if there is a way I would be able to photoshop off the design and turn it into a workable pattern. Thoughts?

If you have a photo with good contrast, you should be able to edit into a black and white only image. If this doesnt work and you have a scanner, some scanners allow you to scan an image as black and white or line drawing only. This would work. My old umax scanner could do it but I have not tried it lately. Good luck.
