Symbolism
In Woods
In
our limited way, through symbolism in our wood, we attempt
to convey some of the suffering and victory of the cross,
to somehow be reminded of the sovereignty and power of God
while grasping the humbleness of death, joy in the midst
of sorrow, hope in the midst of despair. To somehow turn
the terrifying cross of Calvary into the most encouraging
sign ever given to man.
The
inlays and overlays in our products are symbols of either,
"The blood of Christ that has washed away our sins and set
uf free" Eph. 2:14, or the "light that has come into the
world and delivered us from darkness" I John 2:8. We try
to use the finest woods of His creation in their natural
vivid colors.
The
blood red shades of Brazilian rosewood, bloodwood and kingwood
representing the "Blood of Christ", the black shades of ebony,
the "blackness of sin", the life and radiance of birdseye
mable, satinwood and Oregon maple for the "light that overcomes
the darkness", the heavily charachtered woods such as cocobolo,
olive wood, dogwood, burl walnut and Carpathian elm for
the "great struggle for mankind and character formed through
tribulation"
The
spike cross is our effort to simulate in wood the look and
feel of hand-hammered iron spikes the Roman solder must
have used on Good Friday.
Through
His death, He alone remains the symbol of life.
