- I handcrafted my first nativity scene as a Christmas gift for my mother-in-law a few years ago. Many people have asked me about it, so I have updated and improved upon the original design and built a limited run to offer for purchase.
- The figures are all cut by hand from Honduran mahogany.
- The stable features black walnut pillars that I turned on my lathe.
- The stable's pillars are connected by white oak dowels.
- The stable's roof is a solid piece of strikingly figured white limba.
- A star made of multiple contrasting wood species laminated together, is affixed to a white oak mast; the star and mast are removable (the mast fits into a hole in the stable's roof) for storage or if you prefer the look of the nativity scene without the star and mast.
- The nativity scene is mounted to a solid purpleheart base, with top and bottom edges profiled all the way around, that rests upon four spherical purpleheart feet, one in each corner.
- The Ohio Wood Art logo and maker's mark are laser-engraved on the bottom of the nativity scene's base.
- The nativity scene has been finished with durable and environmentally-friendly Rubio Monocoat hardwax oil.
- I have no plans to create any more nativity scenes using this design (it is very labor-intensive), so this is your opportunity if you wish to own one.
- All Ohio Wood Art nativity scenes available for purchase are constructed from the same wood species, use the same design, and are approximately the same dimensions and weight; however, due to natural variations in wood's coloration and figure, the Ohio Wood Art nativity scene that you receive may not be the one pictured above.
