Handmade Bethlehem Nativity Set, 3-Piece Rustic Olive Wood Bark Slices with Engraving from Bethlehem, 3.7 inch each

Every Piece is a One-of-a-Kind Natural Log Slice The photo and dimensions shown here are examples only. This nativity is hand-cut from natural olive tree sections, so the bark pattern, slice shape, exact dimensions, and proportions of YOUR piece will vary, sometimes noticeably, from what you see. Approximate size: 9.5 x 9.5 x 2.5 cm (3.7 x 3.7 x 1.0 inches). Yours may arrive larger, smaller, rounder, or shaped differently. That natural unpredictability is exactly what makes each one unique, no two are alike, and we don't try to make them match. This is a 3-piece Bethlehem nativity set, three rustic bark-edge olive wood slices each carved with the nativity scene (palm, Holy Family, angel, shooting star, kneeling shepherd) and BETHLEHEM engraved on the base. Each slice is cut from a different section of olive tree, so bark patterns, round shapes, and exact dimensions vary across the three. Each piece approximately 9.5 x 9.5 x 2.5 cm (3.7 x 3.7 x 1.0 inches), combined weight about 408 grams. Display all three together as a triptych, or split across rooms or recipients. Made in Bethlehem. About this Bethlehem Nativity Set This is a 3-piece Bethlehem nativity set, three rustic bark-edge olive wood slices each carved with the nativity scene (palm, Holy Family, angel, shooting star, kneeling shepherd) and BETHLEHEM engraved on the base. Three bark-edge olive wood slices, each carved with the same nativity scene composition (palm tree, holy family, angel with shooting star, kneeling shepherd, and bethlehem engraving) but with unique bark texture, log shape, and grain pattern per slice. Three separate olive wood log slices with bark preserved on the edges, each carved with the full nativity scene as relief and the bethlehem lettering on the base, no joinery between pieces. The Real Story The single-piece version of this nativity has been our best seller in the small-souvenir tier for years. People kept asking if they could buy three at once for siblings or for a family of three grown kids, so we made a 3-piece set out of it. Each slice is its own log, each one slightly different, but they read as a coherent set when displayed together.

The carver works from the same drawing on each slice but adapts the layout to whatever shape the bark gives him. The three you receive will share the design but each will have its own personality. Who it's For Family gift split across three siblings or three grown children of the same parents, parish gift bag for three different deacons, gift for someone collecting nativity scenes from different places (this gives them three from Bethlehem at once), Christmas exchange among three close friends, or a set that one household keeps and displays as a triptych on a long mantel. Care Instructions Olive 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. Frequently Asked Questions Are all three slices identical? No. Each is cut from a different section of olive tree so the round shape, bark pattern, exact dimensions, and small carving details vary from slice to slice. The scene composition and BETHLEHEM engraving are the same on all three. Can I buy just one slice? For the single-slice version, see our ENAT207 listing (Bethlehem Nativity, Hand Carved Olive Wood Bark Slice with BETHLEHEM Engraving). This page is the 3-piece set at a bundled price. Do all three sit upright on their own? Yes, each slice has a flat base with the BETHLEHEM engraving and stands freestanding without help. How are they packaged for shipping? All three are individually wrapped, padded, and packed together in one corrugated box. The total set weight is approximately 408 grams plus packaging. Can the set be split as gifts to three different people? Absolutely, this is one of the most common ways customers use it. Each slice ships unmarked so you can divide them however you like. Some customers ask for separate gift wrapping per slice, which we can do on request at no extra charge.
