I’m not a big-time woodworker, just a lady with a jig saw and I’m looking for a plan for an outdoor nativity scene (for next year) that would feature only the silhouettes of the Holy Family, etc. Any suggestions on where to look? I’ve gone to woodzone, hobbymall, a-plus-woodworking-plans and scrollsaw .coms with no luck. Is there a book on the market that would have something like this? My mom wants the one that’s in a distant neighbor’s yard, and I didn’t think it’d be that hard to find, but no luck so far. Any help would be appreciated.

I Googled and found one right off the bat:
http://www.scrollsaw.com/wofsnat.htm
Source of the link was this page:

The Google string I used:

Thanks for the info! I found that one too, but that's the one on every site I found, and the one I'd seen was a little different. It was just one-dimensional silhouettes and some what stylized. Is there anything out there that is different than this one?
Have you asked the neighbor where they got the figures.......or the plans?
I made one for my parents a couple years ago. I checked the link below your original post and it's not the same. I'm pretty sure my mom ordered the plans from a catalog - I'll email her and see if she can remember where.
Actually - I just found a link to it...

Try http://www.thewindfieldcollection.com. They feature full-size patterns. P. 45 of their recent catalog feature a number of attractive Nativity scene plans.
Thanks so much!!! There's at least one Nativity pattern that I want to purchase from them, and I saw lots of things that I liked! I ordered their catalog. Their website is http://www.thewinfieldcollection.com. I don't know why they are so hard to find. I never saw them come up on any of my searches for Outdoor Nativity Patterns. I tried to call my neighbor once with no luck, so I'll have to try again. They are actually several streets down so I don't know them very well, but perhaps this would be a great time to connect!
