Blooming Prairie Student Builds Nativity Barns
Linda Anderson, a Blooming Prairie junior, creates wooden nativity barns in her kitchen. She sketches and measures a four piece plywood barn with balsa front, adds a weathered look, uses stain, and finishes with a fence. Each large barn stands 15 inches high, about 24 by 10 inches, with smaller ones at one third size. Linda spends two to three weeks per barn and has completed five. The hobby has awkward moments when she works in old clothes with sawdust flying.
