This Creche is all I got for your Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! Wish I could get all of you your favorite lens or camera, but sharing this photo is the best I could do for ya. I've been cutting these things out for over 20 years.
This particular Creche is made from pine. The pine came from one of the original timbers in the Dan River Cotton Mill in Danville, VA (where I'm from). The mill was built in 1884. For those of you who are woodworking enthusiasts as much as hoggers, as I am, the pine timber was 11 1/2" wide by 7 1/2" thick. In that timber, using a magnifying glass, I counted 244 rings. That is old growth timber that cannot be found today.
Merry Christmas everyone! I wish for all of you that there will be peace in your home and comfort for those who are restless and anxious for whatever the reason. Blessings and peace be yours.
