Large Easy Nativity Scroll Saw Pattern.


Download Below
This picture shows the scale of the project. Joseph is 10" tall.

This is another easy project to cut. You can cut these figures in an hour or two and have a nice Christmas gift or decoration. I used 1/2" walnut but any wood of any thickness that you have will work fine. Even weathered boards would look nice. 

The figure of Joseph will need a board that is 7.5" wide. and 10.5" long. Mary can be cut from a board that is a little wider than 6". 


Another option is to cut the figures from plywood and paint them black like silhouettes. For a more standard silhouette look, you can eliminate the interior cuts.

The price is $1 per name with a 5 name minimum. I keep the price as low as possible
because I want everyone to have a chance to make these ornaments for family and friends.

You only pay after you have received the order and are 
100% satisfied with the patterns. Invoice included with
the pattern email. Pay by credit card(secure Paypal), check, or cash.

The patterns will be emailed to you after they are completed.
Please allow up to a week for delivery. 

You can use last names on the ornaments if you like but remember that the more letters the more
difficult they are to cut. Ten letters and up gets pretty small. If you need to you can enlarge the patterns by 10% to make the interior cuts larger. No special characters are supported. I can get a hyphen in there but it looks odd. It has to connect the two letters so it does not just fall out.
