dgman Posted October 30, 2016 Report Posted October 30, 2016 I have a two day show next weekend. Got these finished today. The peace Nativity is from a pattern by our very own Birchbark. Cut from 1/2" Cherry. Used FD UR 1&3. The other is called 3-D Nativity Scene from a pattern by Sue Mey in the current issue of Scrowsaw Woodwoorking & Crafts. The overlay is 1/4" Poplar with an 1/8" backer of Mahogany. The stable is 7/8" Mahogany. I used Olson Skiptooth # 2/0 and FD UR 1 for the overlays and FD UR 7 for the stable. All soaked in 50/50 boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits. Then when dry, a topcoat of Deft semi gloss spray lacquer. lawson56, Rob Roy, Phantom Scroller and 4 others 7 Quote

Birchbark Posted October 30, 2016 Report Posted October 30, 2016 Wow those are real nice. I really like the contrasting wood on Sue Mey pattern. I think you're going to do well with those. I'm hoping for a big turn out for you, good weather and lots of money spent. Russell dgman 1 Quote
Rolf Posted October 30, 2016 Report Posted October 30, 2016 Dan, If you are willing to share I am curious what you will charge for them. When I did the test cut for Sue's SSWWC nativity I left one side of the Manger rough sawn for a more rustic look and the other side smooth. They pictured the smooth side. I see you also extended the top of the manger so that you have dark wood behind the star . It looks great! dgman 1 Quote

I did have a hard time cutting as there are no solid lines to follow. My tired eyes have a hard time with that.As far as a turn out, this is an annual Christmas Botique at a local church that is in its 35th year. The whole town turns out! As far as weather, it is indoors. Thanks again for the pattern! Quote

Hey Rolf, I will probably price them at $35-$40, haven't decided yet.I did not change anything on the pattern. The wood behind the star is just part of the backer board of the overlay. Thanks for your comments, I feel honored! Edited October 30, 2016 by dgman Quote

meflick Posted October 31, 2016 Report Posted October 31, 2016 Beautiful pieces of artwork Dan. thanks for sharing your pictures. I have Russell's Peace pattern to try "someday" I really like how you made it a "mantle" piece. Will have to remember that. I like the Sue Mey pattern too. I hadn't seen that - I am impatiently awaiting my copy that I ordered for my "free" one to subscribe back at the first part of the month. I really hope it comes soon! dgman 1 Quote
