This pattern of Mary and the baby Jesus stands ten inches tall. I used soft maple for the 3/4 inch thick backer and 1/2 inch thick cherry for the cutout. I also included two side pieces to make a set if you like. The set makes a unique nativity project.
I'm finally feeling better from what ever bug I had. It never fails. When I have a week off from work I get sick. It happens at least once every year. Now that I'm feeling better I hope to get some work done on the blog. I have not updated the online catalog in weeks. I'll try to work on that tomorrow. I'll also try to get some of the email caught up. Have about 150 in the in-box unanswered. Sorry if don't get to them all but I'll try.
