Who made the cross that jesus died on?
There's no record in the Bible of this, but i reckon that it was just roughed up with a couple of tree branches, and nothing like the polished versions you see in the churches today; because in one passage the cross is referred to as a tree: "The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree." (Acts 5.30)
What wood was Christ's cross made from?
It was not made of the dogwood, since no dogwood has ever been reported to have grown in the Middle East. Likely it was made of cedar or cypress, both of which are indigenous to that area. The myth of the dogwood was originated in Europe or even perhaps the early days of the United States. There is absolutely no historical evidence that the dogwood tree ever grew straight and tall as the legend would have us believe.
Was Jesus crucified on a cross or a tree?
The usual method of crucifixion by Romans was on a cross-shaped or T-shaped structure made from wood. This was the method by which Jesus was crucified. The most common form was an upright fixed into the ground which was tapered at the top. A cross bar, which was carried by the victim to the place of execution, had a rectangular hole made in it so that it could slide over the upright until it was wedged on, forming the traditional cross shape. The victim was nailed through the wrists onto the cross piece, and a further nail passed through his ankles which were turned so that the legs were twisted sideways and sligtly bent. The victim was stripped naked so this form of death was not only agonising in the extreme, but also shameful and was made to bring great dishonour to the victim and his family. In scripture there are a few verses which state that jesus was nailed to "the tree" but these display poetic licence as often a wooden cross, made from the trunk of a tree, was sometimes referred to as 'a tree' but it was a hewn, rectangular cross-section cross nevertheless.
