I'm  working on a project of making a 12-14 foot tall cross and the beams 
need to  be no less than 8 inches by 8 inches. This is for our Easter program and 
it  will be suspended from the center of the sanctuary so weight becomes an  
issue.

how about furring strips and chicken wire covered with paper  mache.  This 
would allow it to remain fairly light so it could easily be  raised and hung 
without much worry.
