According to at least one source, it was not. There were several different types of wood that may have been used on our Saviour's cross. The footrest may have been cedar for its longevity, cypress for its pleasant aroma, palm for its symbol of victory and olivewood used for the inscription 'The Kind of the Jews' which hung above the body of Christ. Since The Bible does not describe the specifics of the actual cross, we can only speculate as to its real composition.
