Cradel for the new Grandson

Nice work. Firewood is a natural consequence. Go with it.

-- When you give someone a chance it may well be their last.

Another gem. A family heirloom for sure. Thanks for sharing with us Bob.

-- Better to say nothing and be thought the fool... then to speak and erase all doubt.

Thanks Chip
The Grandson had a swinging time in it. :-)

My daughter(-inlaw) just asked me to make a cradle for their first child (my first grandchild). I didn’t even know they were expecting. So after the shock subsided I told her, of course I would. I like the look of this one very much – you did a great job. It’s the color she described that she wanted. What wood is this one made of?... it’s beautiful!

Beautiful cradle!

And Karson, you’d better check your camera. It’s taking double exposures.

It’s made from clear pine and birch plywood for the end panels. Staind with dark mahagony
