Here is my latest project. A baby cradle for my nephew and wife, their first baby. The wood is some tiger maple that I selected from a local supply.

Beautiful cradle and some very nice wood.

Did you turn the spindles or buy them. I’ve tried to turn spindles from tiger maple and they are very fragile.

We are a very close family, this nephew and my son are just 10 months apart and they grew up together.
The spindles I did not turn, turning is something that I have not gotten into yet. For one thing I don’t have a lathe and I think it will take a lot of experince, maybe some day.

Stanley, That’s one beautiful cradle! The wood is awesome and you did a great job. Did you work from plans or is that your design?

Hi John, I found a picture on the internet and went from there. I have been wanting to build something out of this tiger maple ever since I seen it at the wood supply place I found three years ago. At the very reasonable price they have it at I am sure I will building more projects with it.

This is very attractive cradle. The design is great and the material is fabulous. My daughter is going to have a baby and I think I’d like to use some of your details in a cradle I’ll build for her. Thanks for the posting.
