Today I wanted to upload pictures of my intarsia Nativity scene. I made this back in early December, and used the patterns from Scroll Saw Woodworking and Crafts magazine. The patterns were given as ornaments for your Christmas tree, but I decided to use them to create my own scene. I made doubles of some animals (3 camels, 3 sheep) and made variants of the patterns as well (sitting sheep and camel). I designed my own stable and put a light inside, as well as a 2 layer base made from 3/4" aspen. Aspen is cheap, and because it won't be touched much, its softness won't be a problem. I flipped some of the patterns so that the animals could face both ways. For Christmas I received the Razertip SS-D10 pyrography system, so I burned in details on the Nativity set afterwards.
My Nativity just shows how patterns can be adjusted to fit your needs. There is no need to copy a pattern exactly. Edit it to make it your own! I encourage you to do that to my patterns as well! And when done, send pictures to me so I can show off your work and help inspire others to personalize their work!
Woods used in my Nativity:
-maple
-walnut
-wenge
-sycamore
-elm
-zebrawood
-cedar
-padouk
-yellowheart
To come: I'll try to post the patterns of the animals that I custom made soon. It's March, I know, but it doesn't hurt to start on a set now! And I'll have to post the patterns while I have access to them here at home (I'm currently on Spring Break). I never made an actual pattern for stable, but I'll post detailed pictures of it for you to look off of in creating your own version. I'll also try to post a review of my Razertip tool for the pyrographers out there, as well as a few beginner projects I did.



Hey, I was scrolling (no pun intended) through your blog, and I really like your work-especially the stable. I'm a fourteen year old guy and I was wondering if you had a pattern, or some tips for me to make it. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
I designed and built the stable pattern myself and would be happy to send you detailed pictures and a pattern! Please send me your email address so I can send it directly. We are currently working on posting the stable as a free pattern for our site, so you can also check for the pattern here!
Hi i was wondering what was the size of the base used for the figures thanks

Hi Tom, thanks for checking out our site! The patterns can be found in Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Issue #29 Holiday 2007 (http://scrollsawer.com/2009/08/27/12-piece-intarsia-nativity-set/). You can purchase a copy of the magazine issue if you send an email to CustomerService@WoodcarvingIllustrated.com or call 888-506-6630. Let me know if you have any more questions!
I was trying to find patterns for figures and link does not exist anymore. Would you happen to know where I could find them?
The pattern is made by Kathy Wise. Its said above it is a nativity ornament set. She is now also making patterns for the set as a stand up nativity set.She has an online store you can order from, or you can collect copies of them in current and back issues of Scrollsaw Woodworking magazine. I believe the magazines are cheaper than buying the patterns directly from her, unless you buy download versions.
Can the nativity set be purchased as made and not a pattern?
IEEE Project Domain management in software engineering is distinct from traditional project deveopment in that software projects have a unique lifecycle process that requires multiple rounds of testing, updating, and faculty feedback. A IEEE Domain project Final Year Projects for CSE system development life cycle is essentially a phased project model that defines the organizational constraints of a large-scale systems project. The methods used in a IEEE DOmain Project systems development life cycle strategy Project Centers in Chennai provide clearly defined phases of work to plan, design, test, deploy, and maintain information systems.
This is enough for me. I want to write software that anyone can use, and virtually everyone who has an internet connected device with a screen can use apps written in JavaScript. JavaScript Training in Chennai JavaScript was used for little more than mouse hover animations and little calculations to make static websites feel more interactive. Let’s assume 90% of all websites using JavaScript use it in a trivial way. That still leaves 150 million substantial JavaScript Training in Chennai JavaScript applications.
could i get plans for this? its amazing! lindseynriches@gmail.com
