outdoor wood tables image
Imperfectp
I am trying to convert an old cable reel (think super big thread holder) Anyway it is solid wood and I am staining, then varnishing the whole thing and tiling the top. Any way to keep termites from getting to it? There is no way i can get to the middle which is solid wood as well. Any ideas on how to keep it safe from the elements I would appreciate. Thanks!

termites do not like sunlite, but will eat any type of wood sitting on groung, keep on concrete! cover & secure w/ plastic to prevent rain etc from intering wood

Maybe you can use some ideas from smaller models of a stable for the manger scene & then enlarge it according to your needs. This small table-top building when completed measures only 17 1/2"W x 7 1/2"D x 11 1/2"T...but would serve as a great model:

You can simply use 2 x 4's to frame up the back and sides. Then use a piece of particle board (or other material that is available) on the top for the roof & cover it with hay or straw. Use pieces of wood or wood slates to fill in the sides & back.
Perhaps you can get some ideas from these large outdoor live Nativity scenes:

These manger scenes used a lot of hay & just a small amount of wood:

Here are some Nativity scenes (creche) from around the world to inspire your own creation. These use various types of materials & designs... expressing each artist's unique culture & their vision of that special event.
