Template Stencil

Manger Wood Carving Stencil

Complete your handmade three-piece Nativity set with this Baby Jesus and manger wood carving stencil!
This stencil set makes it easy to lay out a manger with Baby Jesus inside, giving you a consistent starting point before you begin carving. Pair the finished piece with the matching faceless Mary and Joseph carvings to create a complete handmade wooden Nativity scene.

Three Sizes Available

Choose from three different stencil sizes designed for:
  • 1" stock
  • 1.5" stock
  • 2" stock
Choose the size that matches your Mary and Joseph carvings to create a coordinated Nativity set.

Designed to Make Layout Easier

The stencil provides the important reference lines needed to shape the manger and Baby Jesus.
The curve through the center of the design represents the highest point of the blanket, helping you visualize the shape as you remove material. The sides of the manger are designed to resemble individual wooden boards, giving the finished carving a simple, traditional appearance.
Use the stencil as your starting point, then add as much detail and personality as you'd like to make the finished carving your own.

Complete Your Three-Piece Nativity

This manger is designed to pair with the matching faceless Mary and Joseph carvings, allowing you to create a complete three-piece wooden Nativity scene.
Full-length, step-by-step carving tutorials are available for all three pieces:
