Our first Grandson is due to arrive sometime the first week of Sept, I am about to burst with anticipation, I thought I would take my time and build a real nice cradle, but once I started I could not stop, so it only took me 5 days to complete. These pictures are taken during the final coat of finish. The wood is of recycled Mahogany door jams, and the bowtie brace between the legs is a piece of African mahogany, which I had to purchase.

That is very very nice. You did a fine fine job on this. I especially like the bowtie brace.
I pray that you find a way to keep working with wood. You make beautiful pieces.
By the way, nice back yard! Looks like you are truly set up for great pool parties!

Jay: Thanks for the kind words, and for sure we have 3-4 pool parties a year usually about 30 people. We just did a Cinco De Mayo party. We served a large variety of Mexican food. For you folks that don’t know about Cinco De Mayo (5 of May) is the Mexican Independence Day. It is heavily celebrated here in Arizona by all.
