The last 4 days in the shop

Post by mountainbreeze »

Construction is complete. Just have to apply a little paint and the granddaughter's 2nd birthday gift is ready to go. Hopefully it will be an heirloom. A special thanks to mbcabinetmaker: About two years ago, he let me haul off his scraps that were destine for the junk yard. This doll crib was made entirely from those scraps.

Thanks everyone. I'm in the final stages of painting and the wife is done with the mattress, quilt, and pillow. I'll post a picture when it's all done.

Mark, I wish I could take credit for the design but I can't. I found it here:
