How long is the waiting period if someone orders a crucifix?

I'm looking to add some crucifixes to my home. I prefer the traditional crucifix and am looking for anyone out there to point me in the right direction.

Can anyone help point me in the right direction?

I was told I should have one in every room of the house. So, I have a nice one from Amazon for meal prayers, but the rest are mostly plastic ones. They still look nice! And they're so cheap. This place, for example sells 4" plastic ones for 50 cents a piece, with free delivery! You can't beat it.

Thanks for that link that site has some very reasonable prices. I don't mind plastic if it looks nice, I can't afford a $20 crucifix at this point in my life, let alone a really nice one I have seen some for $100 or more.

On the subject of crucifixes, I would love to find the crucifix designed by Dr. Pierre Barbet, author of A Doctor at Calvary. Based on his examination of the Shroud of Turin, the Gospels, historical information, and his experience as a surgeon/pathologist, Dr. Barbet designed a crucifix as accurately as the evidence allows.

At least I was able to finally find images of the crucifix by Drs. Barbet and Villandre:

Unfortunately, as best I can find, there are no reproductions available.

This is not the crucifix by Drs. Barbet and Villandre, but it is exactly the concept:
