HandMadeForLife exists to sell handcrafted wooden items in support of pro-life ministries in the Philadelphia area.

I supply all the materials and labor at my own expense. Prices run from $5 to $25. All proceeds from sales at churches will go directly to the church for distribution to the pro-life ministry of their choice. To arrange a sale at your church or pro-life organization, contact me at mikebranhut@hotmail.com.

"And all at once with the angel there was a great throng of the hosts of heaven, praising God with the words: Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace for those he favours." (Luke 2:13-14)


Single Angel

"In the countryside close by there were shepherds out in the fields keeping guard over their sheep during the watches of the night. An angel of the Lord stood over them and the glory of the Lord shone round them. They were terrified, but the angel said, 'Do not be afraid. Look, I bring you news of great joy, a joy to be shared by the whole people." (Matthew 2:8-10)

This piece is an example of Intarsia, the art of combining small pieces of wood to form a picture. The pieces are cut from 1/4 inch poplar, stained, and re-assembled, with a screweye for hanging.
