I FINALLY finished the cradle I started on SEVEN YEARS ago, the roof was a RPITA. So now is the time to COMPLETELY go over my SS. Clean it ALL, lube everything and wax it and get EVERYTHING adjusted. I've been doing those, just knot all at one time. Then on to the tray project.

Yes, remember if there are no pictures then it didn't happen, a forum rule.

Good job!
You made great use of the grain in the back, by the way.

Very pretty! Nice workmanship! How did you save the parts for 7 years?

Thank you all for the kind words. BUT I feel that this project wasn't anywhere near my best. Numerous times I wanted to douse it with paint thinner and toss a match on it. 
The only parts I had to save for years were the 3 roof pieces, one of which I had to replace. I can't believe how MANY HOURS it took to get the roof pieces on.

But Bob! The great majority of those hours were woodshop time
Gotta enjoy even the frustrating times.
