Jesus U.S.A. flag "For You" - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

bubbantenn · 07-02-2009, 10:32 PM

I've been making these for the 4th of July but I am going to continue making them all year long. The smaller one is about 6 inches high, while the larger one is about 9 inches high. It is a combination of Emmitt's "for you" cross and the name of Jesus that I've been cutting for years. I have been so burdened that our country is in desperate need and I thought this was a good way to convey my concern. I thought painting the name of Jesus to resemble the American flag might create a spark among our people. I hope you like it.
I am on a crusade to make and sell (or give away) at least one thousand of these while sharing the story behind it. Wish me luck and for those of you who would, pray for me.

Nicely done!

I have cut lots of Emmitts carrying the cross, and I like what you have added, only problem is the NON PAINTERS won't be able to copy your work.

Thanks for sharing........... I have still have my mother painting things, she is 83 and going stronger than me every day.

Very nicely done! and some fine paint work too.

Thanks everyone! My dad, who is 81, is also involved in this project. He cuts but doesn't paint. Maybe some of you who cut but don't paint can also find a partner.
