Finally got back to working on the Nativity. This is the first of two shepherds, carved from butternut like the other pieces and sealed with Deft Satin. He stands 5 1/2" tall. More pics on my blog.
Beautiful wood. I think I would make the figures even more styalized if I ever do a nativity...that many figures with full detail is a really big job. Of course, you have a great heirloom when you are done, so it is worth it I am sure.
