beautiful job built a couple when my grand babies were small . cradles are being passed done. fantastic job. think of the memories to come. _____ jim

The cradle finish is Arm-R-Seal by General Finishes. I did not use the lathe duplicator for the spindles. I did them by hand.

That is a great looking cradle - nice job!! Alec

Awesome job. As previously stated, simple yet elegant. A treasure your family will have for a long time

I love you plans and will keep then handy for later. I have seven daughter and build a cradle for their first child so one for each daughter. here are two of them, the light wood shows the mattress board in the high position. I made it so it was in two positions so my daughters could use it longer.
Love to share plans and projects.

Did you make the plans yourself? Can I get a copy? Also I like the use of the colored dots for the reassembly.

Great job! I built one similar with out the turnings between the rockers for my second grandson. It is what relit the spark to get into woodworking.

I like yours too wlhayesmfs.

Way cool, I tried and tried to get the time in the shop for my first two grand kids but furniture orders from the parents kept me from it. I think its cool to do that stuff.
