Working on the Crucifix

Artist John Lajba is continuing to work on our crucifix. In order to fit it in our door, he has it in two pieces. So much of his work lately has been making certain it will fit together easily once it is brought inside.

 There is wood behind the piece
where the mounting brackets will go.

Today he is remiving imperfections, some by sanding ... 

 ... but most of it is detail work.

As he has been working on this crucifix, John often found himelf thinking about the wounds of Christ. In life we all go through trials and suffering. It is amazing that Jesus was so full of love that he was willing to enter into that suffering with us.

This weekend John will continue to make adjustments, then begin the painting stage.
