What a shock to see the pix of my cradle in a post, thanks Cathy!
Since the method for posting pix changed I can't seem to keep up with the new ways around here. Then again, before chemo I had no excuse for my
techno-ignorance, now I use it to the fullest!
This project began in February after my daughter announced the coming addition of a grandson in August. I ordered the plans and chose ash to make the cradle. It's taken until about two weeks ago to finish it. I scrolled the ornaments on the sides just for contrast and fun.
My daughter wanted a clear finish so I used wipe on poly after shellac. It's all dowel joinery.
Thanks for looking! My real gloat is yet to come! | |

What a wonderful place to spend the first months of life!  | |

Thanks for all the kind words everybody!
Scott, I can't remember where I ordered them right off but I'm not at home and when I return I'll look it up. I am happy to send it to you if you'd like. I don't plan to ever build it again! The design is simple enough however the directions were less than easy. There are a few assembly changes I would suggest to anyone building this cradle. | |

Great looking cradle and heirloom. Daughter and grandson should really enjoy it. I made one for a niece and had the trophy shop to make a small plaque which said "Babies who have slept here." When both her girls were born I'd take take the plaque and have their name engraved in it. | |
