WOW! It’s beautiful! It’s definitely fit for a King or Queen. Your Grandchild has an oval office! I love it!
Great work

-- My shop teacher said "You can do it".... Now I can't stop!

Wow while I love the crib the thing that caught my eye was the elliptcal jig for the router,I’ve seen many commercial models but never a shop built one! Being a big fan of shopbuilt machinery and jigs(I build it whenever possible from my shopbuilt wide drum sander and edge sander to the shop built mortiser and CNC router)I would love to know if you dreamt it up or if ther was aplan somewhere.Nice work keep it up.

-- teh most beautiful about a tree is what you can make out of it...even if that is only a fire!I hate raking

Ed, this is an absolutely gorgeous crib. I am sure the novelty of cutting all those mortises and tenons wore off rather quickly after the first few but the end result was well worth all the effort that you put into it.

What type of wood did you use for the crib and how did you finish it?

Great first posting. I am looking forward to seeing more of your work.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Looks like a piece that will be handed down to her grandchildren! Looks great. Congrats Grandpa.

-- You can't get a hug from Facebook.

This will definitely be an heirloom. Thanks for sharing. We look forward to seeing more of your work.

That is really excellent, catches the eye right away. RJ is right, you could sell these for big money.

-- Dan Wiggins

Wow! Instant heirloom.

Very Nice! Welcome to LumberJocks.

-- Dennis Zongker

This is gorgeous. Welcome to LumberJocks. I’m very interested in that oval cutting jig as well. Formulas, details, usage, etc.

What did you finish the crib with?

Again, great job. Keep them coming!

Very beautiful!! All the above! Love the elliptical cutting jig too. Very simple. Thanks…..........

-- mtnwild (Jack), It's not what you see, it's how you see it.

Absolutely beautiful! That’s something to pass on for generations. Make sure you make your mark on it with the year. :-)

Could you post info on the oval jig you used? How does it work? How do you attach it? And what adjustments in position are needed when working around the piece?

-- --If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten.

Wow, your grandson’s grandson will love that crib. A family heirloom for sure! Love the jig for the baluster holes. That must have been a fun glue up? : ) Great work, thanks for sharing.

I’m in awe. I wish I had that much talent. Did you steam bend the rails or glue veneers around a form? Either way, wow!!!

WOW What a Beautiful job
