The Friedrich's Cross, shown to the USA by Swiss smith Christophe Friedrich back in the early 90's, is a fun project in and of itself. If you overlap the cuts in the stock, you get that cool diamond opening in the center of the cross. If you don't overlap the cuts, there is no opening.
A number of people have been using this splitting method to forge hummingbirds, which also look fun.
But I just didn't feel like a hummingbird right now, so I made a dragon instead.
