Come and
see the 2,000 year old Cross. The old
rugged cross on the property, situated
on the patio offers a place of
reflection, and time to meditate on the
real life of Christ.
The Cross is carbon dated 2,000 years,
it's what known as a
Sinker Cypress.
Andy White the owner has an interesting
story about the process and construction
of the hand hewed cross.
Seems a gentleman, name unknown to me at
this writing, was commissioned had
promised to construct a cross for Andy.
As I believe he mentioned about six
months are so later there was no word on
the progress of the cross, so he just
considered that it was a task not to be
completed.
Well all of a sudden, Andy finds out why
it seemed to take so long, the artist
had been laboring constantly when he had
free time, diving along the pearl river
in Louisiana getting samples from many
Cypress sinker logs. Not only did he
search for a good piece he also would
take a sample that he found and then
have it carbon dated.
Finally he finds the perfect specimen a
Cypress sinker log that he meticulously
had to towed in the water to get ashore,
and then he began the arduous work to
finish a hand hewed cross no nails or
modern manufacturing.
That presents another story, ask Andy
while you having a great cup of coffee.
Oh by the way that's another unusual
and unique story, the on about his
coffee roaster.
