Erzgebirge Inspired Nativity
My wife mentioned wanting a new nativity and I happened to be online, looking at woodworking items from the Erzgebirge mountain region of Germany. So, yesterday, I dove into my scrap bucket and made this for her. My favorite part is that there is no finish applied. All parts were polished on the lathe.

Very unique nativity and beautifully done. Terrific!
Nicely done!
Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".
Those are really cute!
Nice job

Nice! When I first saw the project on the front page, the “nativity” was cut off, and I thought it might be a chess set, which would also be a cool use of scraps.
I’m also reminded of the physics joke, “imagine a spherical cow…” and thinking you might need another critter or two…

May you have the day you deserve!
Neat design. Nice use of all the various wood types.
Very well done. I try to make a different Nativity every year or so. I really like this one you have made. Beautiful!
Really nice, John!
Now, who can name the various woods used? I'm guessing Joseph's body is...maybe...Rosebud?

Your nativity set is well done. Excellent!
Not sure where I was when this was new, must have been in the hospital, missed it anyhow. I think this is the nicest nativity set I have ever seen. Simple, and very good representation of what I view as Christmas, and Christ's birth. Well done.
