That is hand carved. Hand carved. You've got to be joking to realize the people of Oklahoma actually believes basements and storm cellars are unattainable.
Where did all that 'mind speak' propaganda come from?
Using Oklahoma Red Clay (click here) hand-dug and found locally on or near Route 66, these crosses are made using a slab roller and a doiley. Each cross is hand rolled, cut, cleaned, fired, stained, fired again, then waxed. No two will be exactly alike, slight variations in shape and patterns. They make great gifts, and are a fun way for people to contribute to the preservation of Route 66. Size varies but is approximately 4.5”h x 3”w and come with a sturdy hemp cord hanger....
Clay soils often have drainage problems, but, then that is a matter of engineering. These soils can be mixed with top soil to grow plants. Organic matter can be introduced for a productive garden. The red color comes from iron. You know, Iron, Fe. Most of the circles I travel in recognize that as a nutrient. Too much might be an issue, but, that is why local home improvement stores sell top soil.
