I built the cross from some treated yellow pine, that I salvaged from another project. It was probably 10 years old, since it was first used as framework for a ramp. 6 years since it was torn down and been laying out by my storage shed since then. Well seasoned, pretty straight and rustic looking. The pieces were 2 x 10s, but I cut them down to be 2 x 6 size. They were doubled up on the thickness so the finished dimensions are 8' 6" tall, cross arm is 46" and 2 5/8" thick. We will bury 2' of the cross in the ground, leaving it about 6 1/2' tall above ground.
