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.

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.
