I posted this on the SSWWC forum but I am not sure how many from here are on it.

This is my donation for our Churches fall Harvest fair live auction. The pattern is in a German magazine Feinschnitt Kreativ . I am not entirely sure who the artist is The article was done by Holger Pfannkuch but the pattern says Reinhard Leps. I am a bit rusty and not entirely happy with it but still love this design. Joseph is Butternut, Cedar, Wenge, Walnut and a bit of Red heart. Mary is Cherry, Aspen and Walnut. Star is yellowheart ,cherry roof. The base was a piece of rough sawn mystery wood that I left a sort of natural edge on.

You've done a beautiful job of this.

I really like the pattern, is it publicly available?

Phill - Here is a link to the German Magazines Archive Section: http://www.feinschnitt-kreativ.de/index.php?art_id=2e941cf4dc0aa730f7d561ff5378b4ef

This particular pattern is in their Winter 2015 edition found here: http://www.feinschnitt-kreativ.de/index.php?ffact=art&ffact2=show&art_id=2693f13b8e0b54c1953f3809a96fc52d

I was able to order the magazine from their website along with another one that I liked earlier this year despite my lack of knowledge of the german language.  They arrived fairly quickly here to me in the US so I would think you should be able to get them quickly from them to Scotland.

I hope to give this one a go at some point.  Its the reason I bought it - I can only hope that mine looks half as good as Rolf's. It looks like from Rolf's photo and the magazine's photo that Rolf made the manger with the star wider and a little taller so that the people can fit "inside" the manager and added the base for it all to set on.

Thanks Melanie,  This the second one I have made and I like it better with the larger manger. the only drawback to having Mary and Joseph inset is that it puts them in a shadow when displayed but I still like the scaling better. I am going to make a couple more for my sales this year. along with one of these. I have reduced the pattern for it to 61 %. it was about 18" I am making it 11" long.
