I made this cradle for a co-worker and his wife whom were expecting their first child. The cradle is a small heirloom cradle that is RTA and can be stored in a decorative box that I also made for him and his wife. The cradle is mainly red oak but has two small mahogany decorative locking plugs on each end.

Very nice! I also have the plans for this and am planning to build this for my little girl for Christmas. I think she would love to put her babydolls in this. How difficult was the project?

I’m just curious, but did you build this from the “Wood” magazine plans. I made one of these for my sister-in-law from their plans last summer. The reason I ask is because when I went to order the crib mattress from their source it was extremely expensive, and the size didn’t match the cradle. I actually e-mailed them about it and all I got back was an automated response saying if we think it’s important we will send you more information.

Nice cradle work. I made a similiar one based on the wood magazine article. I cant remember if the dimensions were right but I do remember that I went online and looked up the dimensions of cradle matressess before I started. I also made the rockers detachable so it could be used as a magazine rack when the child out grew it. Check out my projects and see.
