Like many of you I am already starting gifts for Christmas 2015 and I am making 50 or more twenty piece Nativity scene sets. They are oak stained but left plain and families can set them up however they like. Right now it has Jesus, Mary, Joseph, 3 wisemen, 3 camels, 2 sheaperds, 3 sheep, 1 cow, I would like to find a better pattern for the baby Jesus in the manger. I also may make a small arch(stable) and star, angel, donkey, and a couple more sheaperds? Wondering any thoughts, ideas? other animals? Thanks!

Marty, you are getting a jump on the season! These will make great gifts. Steve Good has many free patterns on his site here. This one is my favorite of the baby Jesus. Simple, yet recognizable. The sheep appear a little cartoonish compared with the rest of the figures in your set. How thick is the oak? Thanks for sharing.

Thanks ya’ll! I think my pattern is from Patrick Spielman, but I keep changing the baby Jesus to find one I like. An elephant and rooster?! I may do that!
