Jesus had the convenience of someone else making His cross for Him. Most of us would have to make our own cross and more than likely many of us don't know how to fabricate one, let alone cut down a tree. Carrying our cross could be problematic. Then there is the question of how big it should be; how heavy? We really don't have the dimensions or weight of the Cross of Jesus, unless this information is with the Holy Grail which people are still searching for.
The carrying of the cross is more than physical. Jesus carried much more than just the physical aspects of the cross. If all I had were the physical aspects and not the moral and just aspects that our family faces, than the physical is a piece of cake to carry. It's the unseen that is much harder.
