We're expecting our first on New Year's day, and I've been busy building a bassinet and crib. The bassinet is build from the 1986 Woodsmith Heirloom Cradle (https://www.amazon.com/Woodsmith-December-Heirloom-Cradle-Joinery/dp/B0048822JW) and the Crib is my take on the Amish manhattan crib (https://amishdirectfurniture.com/shop/kids/manhattan-conversion-crib/).
I'm using wormy maple and walnut for the crib and tiger maple and walnut for the cradle, with walnut as the accent wood.
Any recommendations for a baby safe finish? Not that I'm expecting the baby to chew the wood, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. I don't have a spray setup and prefer applying with a cloth. Also, I'd like to have some degree of protection so I don't have to refinish every two years.
Appreciate any advice you experienced folk have.
Thanks!
