John Barrow was born in London on September 22, 1934. After studying Engineering he traveled to Peru, in 1969, to work at a paper mill. His original contract was for eight weeks, but John ended up staying in Peru permanently.
John has always enjoyed woodwork; he learned the craft from his father, who was a carpenter. Carving became one of John's favorite pastimes, a spare-time hobby.
"Living in Peru allowed me to get to know a variety of beautiful wood types. When I found time I would carve various furniture pieces," John explains. "When I retired, I was finally able to dedicate myself completely to my passion, carving!”
"I love to make all sorts of things. I am a perfectionist, so I prefer to look for the perfect wood type and take great care with each detail. I want to make something that is different than what you might usually see, so I have designed my own machines and tools to help me work wood in a different way.
"Once a famous pianist saw some chairs I had made, and fell in love with their design. After buying a piano, he bought my chairs and asked me to paint them black, to match his piano. Honestly, painting those chairs was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do for a customer, because I love the natural look of wood."

FredrickBeautiful and unique.
I wasn't expecting how beautiful this set is. I thought it would be nice, a bit of a conversation piece. It's so much more than that. The wood is just beautiful, and the detail is exquisite. This nativity set will be proudly displayed in my home every Christmas from this year on. Thank you, John, for a wonderful addition to our holidays.

RogerWhat a novel concept!
This crèche was originally destined for my son’s bedroom; but, when it arrived, it proved too beautiful for such a private setting. So, it was moved to the main living room for all to admire. The crafting of a Nativity scene in a block format is so unique. All our friends, upon viewing it, exclaim they have never seen such a novel concept and are amazed at your artistry. It went on display immediately upon arrival — even before December! Why hide a masterpiece!

TraceyStunning craftsmanship and creativity
This is such a beautiful creche. We give our children nativity sets when they marry and this is the set my son and daughter-in-love selected. I can not wait to see their faces when they open it. I also got the wall/window for a background.

EllenMy review for Gifts For Baby Jesus Nativity
I first have to say this is even prettier in person. The colors are vibrant but not to vibrant. The craftmanship on the pieces is also lovely. I love that is modern but not to modern. I get lots of compliments around Christmas time when this is out.
