I decided to make a manger about three days before Christmas, so this was a rush job to finish for Christmas Eve. This is the first time I made a build without any plans; it was a lot of fun. Now, there is a problem, is the manger too big or are the figurines too small? As you can see, I had to lay some newspaper down because the finish was still a little wet. I was going to throw out the manger and build a better one for next Christmas. But I decided to keep it, for it kind of grew on me and now I like it. I still might build a better one for next Christmas, but it would stand side by side with this one.

Just a few scrollsaw projects that I have been doing when I have a spare moment.

One of my first projects and took days to complete.
