Jesus hominum salvator cross

Jesus hominum salvator cross, scroll saw fretwork pattern

  This is a very attractive cross ornamented with floral motives. The elegant base contains the letters ¨JHS¨, which stand for ¨Jesus hominum salvator¨. In Latin these words mean ¨Jesus, savior of mankind¨. The pattern is based in an old French design from the beginning of the XX century that I have entirely reconstructed in the computer.

  This picture is courtesy of George A. Blake from the USA. He is a member of the Carolina Scrollers club. He has used Cherry,  Sycamore and Bubinga woods. The Cross is finished with 2 coats of clear polyurethane.

  The pattern has been designed to use 1/4 and 1/8 inches wood or 6 and 3 mm wood. By scaling the pattern appropriately any other wood widths can also be used. These are the measures of the cross depending on the wood width you use:

  Height Width
1/4 and 3/16 in. wood 20,9 in. 9,3 in.
6 and 3 mm. wood 50 cm. 22,3 cm.

The pattern is computer made, which provides total precision, and nicely printed for convenient scrolling. Click here to buy this pattern. Write me to info@finescrollsaw.com for any questions.
