 Gothic chip carved cross This is another cross I just finished up. I tried to give this one a gothic look but I'm not happy with the design.  What's funny is that I really thought that this was going to be a good looking design too. LOL!. What's your opinion?

| Re: Gothic chip carved cross Your carving is great. I do like the looks of the other one you posted better, but I should be so lucky to have one look as nice as this  Corey |

| Re: Gothic chip carved cross Hmmmmm...I'm biase so I can't give you an honest opinion - I like all your crosses. It has a different look for sure but still very well done. I would take any of these crosses you have posted in a flash. Can you tell me if you have a specific resource you refer too or are the designs coming out of your head. Patrick |

| Re: Gothic chip carved cross Rog, Nice carving as always! My eyes go right to the middle and I lose the cross visually. INHO if you put diamonds on each side of the center vertical line it will enhance the cross pattern and be more balanced. Bill K. |

| Re: Gothic chip carved cross As always I thought of that after it was complete but I think it also needs to be more bold like gothic is, maybe larger chips would have worked?

| Re: Gothic chip carved cross Rog, yer on the right track. Maybe 4 big diamonds meeting in the middle to form a cross. I have a picture in the gallery somewhere of a small cross with such a pattern. Bill K. |

| Re: Gothic chip carved cross The stain job is great. I love how the cuts show up so well against the wood. This pattern is not as eye catching as the other two. I think it is because the 3 loops on the sides are not even. The narrowing of the third loop makes it seem off balance somehow. |

| Re: Gothic chip carved cross A well carved cross Ron, but I don't care much for the pattern. I can see what you mean about the diamonds, they seem to be too small or "too" .......... horizontal and verticle............ if that makes any sense. Not really sure what the problem is, but I like the other cross much more. Bob
