This piece combines all three on a single base because the carver wanted to test whether he could fit the full scene without it looking cluttered.

The arch has to span the stable without touching the roof line, and the proportions have to feel balanced from any viewing angle. The carver iterates on the scale ratio between the two elements over several pieces before locking in this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it's For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFamily with small children who want a touchable nativity that won't break easily, parish religious-education classroom display, a smaller piece for a small space where a full-scale stable nativity won't fit, gift for a young Christian couple's first Christmas in a new apartment, or a confirmation gift that won't outgrow the recipient as they age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOlive wood needs almost no maintenance. If it looks dry after years of indoor display, rub a single drop of food grade olive oil into the surface with a soft cloth. Don't soak it, don't put it in a dishwasher, don't display it outdoors in direct rain. Indoor humidity changes are normal and fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the stable structure load bearing for additional figurines?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the stable is sized to the carved-in Holy Family.
