My crib project is under way....
I picked up a 100 bfd of rough Cherry from Internet lumber on monday and just as I got it home it started raining so all I had time to do is stack it against the wall to get it in the dry. 
Today I cut off a 3' foot end of one of the rougher boards to see if I could actually do something with it and here is the result.  
I actually got 2 boards that are four sides are square!!!! Seeing as how this is the first lumber I have ever worked with that didn't come from a borg and was already square I think I did pretty good. Only 99 bfd left to true up!
Ready for a little gloat? My new planer should help out.

A double YOU ROCK, Barry!
One for the wood and one for the planer. They should help turn out a beautiful crib!

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

You're already ROCKING, Barry!
Love that cherry
I've read good reviews on the Ridgid planer and it's good to see you have it hooked to a trash can separator. That will greatly reduce cleanup! 99 bd ft of wood on the wall, 99 bdft of wood,
98 bd ft of wood on the wall, 98 bdft of wood,
Got it 
Roger

Barry, that is an awesome score, wood and planer all in one gloat. I have the same planer and so far so good. What did you think about Internet Lumber? I look forward to meeting you Saturday morning. YOU ROCK!!!

Now all need to get started is a good set of plans. Did I put the cart before the horse by getting the wood first? Nah I knew it was gonna be cherry.
Dave my curse isn't as advanced as yours I am still trying to figure out how a piece of furniture was made when I see it.
Roger that is an optical illusion. The trash can seperator is going to a jointer you can't see. There was a shop vac hooked up while I was playing but I didn't run enough trial pieces thru it to make too big of a mess. But I can see that it will need to be hooked up when I get serious or there will be a mess on the floor!!

Hope just don't start cutting anything yet. Crib plans are rampant on the web - http://www.google.com/search?sourcei...n&q=Crib+plans
Do you have any particular style in mind?

A tag on...
Is that the middle of a bow on your bench? I have plans for some and keep my eyes open for good staves (yew is kinda rare in these parts; it will probably be hickory). | |

Awesome Barry, both on the lumber and the planer. I have the older Ridgid model, and I've been extremely happy with it. From looking in the background, I think I have the same dust collector and trash can. Just not the same amount of space 
Looks like you got everything to make a nice crib!
