Crib Built from Pallets

Nice job with the reclaimed wood.

Kids = short on funds. One in college, one in grad school….they’re not getting any cheaper. lol!

Great job. I wanted to build my children a crib but never was brave enough. Lots of slats and lot of time. Where did you find the spring frame?

You’d never know that this was a “short on funds crib made from pallets”. Ha. Beautiful !!!!
And as a headboard – awesome.

Very nice use of re-claimed wood. I have used pallets in the past myself for projects.

Hi all, Thanks for the kind remarks.
I got the original mattress frame from a friend. I have made a few more cribs for customers and I just built a wood frame that consisted of oak with a piece of oak plywood rabbited into the frame to hide the edges. Kind of like a shelf with the front and back boards long enough to mount to each end of the crib. Hope this helps I am horrible at explaining things. I need to take pics next time I build one. Hope I do have to build another one- it’s been a while since I’ve sold one. I’ve seen crib parts offered at Rockler. Kind of expensive to me though.

Great crib and recycled lumber to boot.

Great job.

I just love seeing what you fellow LJ’s do with reclaimed lumber. There’s just so much still usable wood that goes to the landfill anymore. These frames and crib are a tribute to just that.

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

Great and global too. Nice job.
