[Woodcarver] Crucifix construction...

[Bill Judt]

Gentle Carvers:

Having received a commission for a six foot tall crucifix from a local  
Catholic Parish, here in Saskatoon, I am researching various methods  
for constructing the corpus efficiently.

Ivan Whillock was ever so kind as to offer feedback in this regard,  
but I'd like to extend the call for information to the List community  
at large.

Q. What methods are most effective for laminating the wood together  
for a large crucifix?

Q. Is there a "coffin" type of construction for crucifixes similar to  
what is used for carving carousel horses?

If any of you have information, especially links to websites  
containing diagrams/plans and photos of crucifix construction, I'd be  
most appreciative of your help.

Blessings and Peace,

Bill Judt
