Donna Hefty has a book called 'A Folk Carved Nativity' published by Schiffer Publishing (610-593- 1777) or, I got my copy at Woodcraft. This is a very well done book. Good carving techniques, full instructions on painting, a list of paint colors, 14 full sized patterns, and lots of color photos. I did the whole thing in about 3 months but, then, I'm slow.
