Cradle build complete!

[luckyGoose]

Just finished the cradle a week or so ago. This was my first complicated project, and I learnt a lot. Thanks to @Canuck for the plans.

The wood is mostly a mix of maple (tiger, burl, clear) with walnut for the end panels and stretcher cap. Finished with three coats of shellac and lacquer.

Awesome work... wood choices look very nice and you put in a lot of thoughtful details. I wish I could turn 20 spindles and have them look as similar as yours! Of course the best part is going to be who you put inside!

No sir, I ordered them from bearwood.com.

Thank you! I didn't turn the spindles, I don't have a lathe. Found them at bearwood.com for quite a good price.

Looks great. I really like the keyed mortise and tenons.
