Cove Cuts on a Radial Arm Saw

Step 8 One more cove cut project

This is a cross I sometimes wear when I am leading the worship service at the church where I am the pastor.  It was made with three cove cuts on each of the two pieces.   I made several of these at the same time.  The first step was to make a cove cut in a longer piece of wood, as in step 2.  Then I cut that piece crosswise into narrower pieces.  Finally I made a cove cut on the side edges of each of the narrower pieces.  The two pieces of each cross are joined with a lap joint.  The horseshoe nail heads are a decorative touch and have no particular meaning.

You have some skill that is for sure. I would have never thought using a radial saw for this.

I cannot take credit. Craftsman published a guidebook for radial arm saws and a couple examples of cove cuts were shown in it. I made a couple of adaptations in the execution. Thank you for your comment and for looking at this.
