The Olde Rugged Cross

We craft a unique wooden cross.  This cross is hand crafted from the oldest living entity on the earth, the Bristlecone Pine.  These magnificent gnarled giants, twisted, bent and sculpured like works of art radiate a mystique all their own.  Many of these trees are over 2,000 years of age, some almost 5,000 years old.  They shed their branches reluctantly and this is the only wood we use.  Crafted in our studio in Bailey, Colorado we collect dead branches from the National Forest.
