A friend asked if I could make a manger for his daughter. The one condition was that I had to build it so that a 9 inch camel would be in proportion. I spent some time researching what a manger really looked like for that period. I built this using a standard 2×4 and then ripping it into...

Wow, I made it with time to spare! It's due by the first Sunday of Advent. I've been blogging my way here, but for a quick history. I agreed to rebuild the Creche for my local parish and was given free reign to do as I thought best. Not wanting to throw away an old tradition, I decided to...
