A Christmas Gift Nativity
« on: December 14, 2013, 11:06:08 pm »
I made this from a few scrap pieces of Oak. Going to send this to my Dad and Step Mom for Christmas. I can say this year I honestly understand the concept behind St Nicholas being a poor man who made gifts from wood. This past year I have been unemployed or on low income. I have been able to make so many nice gifts for people without buying any new wood.

Very nice Troy.  I know what you mean, I am always on the lookout for free or cheap costing wood.  Made most of my gifts this year also. Money is really tight.

Very nicely done.  Wood can come from a lot of different sources.  Thanks for sharing this with us.
