I have built a couple of these for my granddaughters. Very fun project and quite successful too. After displaying for a few friends, I have built a dozen of them for others. This one is in maple, I have done white oak, ash and cherry also. Great gift for a young girl to rock her doll to sleep.

Very nice work!
Looks like it would be fun to make and give as gifts. And the more you make, the better you get at making them.
How did you join it together – dowels or M&T?

Tilt, I just love your projects! Maybe it’s because I’ve got a young one of my own right now, but these are just great. Keep up the good work!

That is way cool. I’m guess there might also be demand for such a thing in adult size. I know a couple ladies with new little ones that would find this irresistable.

Great project. I can see why it is a requested item
I believe that I’ve see a picture of a full size on before.

Thanks guys, I have been asked several times about a larger one. I think its sorta like the mammys bench, but not sure. The first few built were joined with M&T that was a bit of work. Then I went to dowels on the rockers and screws and plugs on everything else. Time saver but I really like the M&T look better. The one pitcured is not finished yet as needing the plugs and then I put finish on the maple which really popped out the wood grain.

Fantastic work, I have been thinking about a crib for some very good friends that are expecting in the new year. I have not liked the plans for some cribs I,ve seen online, does a plan exist for this, if so could you tell me where I could find it. Inspired to copy…
