Just finished this cherry craddle couple days ago and have been letting it soak up some UV rays. You can almost see it change to a darker red each day. I built one of these before but out of walnut. In keeping with my desire to never build the same exact project more than once I changed the design of the legs to a Queen Ann style. I will have to admit I bought the small spindles from Rockler which made this project go pretty fast. Once the desighn of the legs was accomplished it only took a couple weekends. I used Charles Neil ’s antibloching formula, I have found this to be very effective on cherry. Followed this by 3 coats of poly and one coat of wax.

It is beautiful and I would hate to see it as just a piece to look at, but the distance between those slats worries me. The US Consumer Products Safety Commission requires a max of 2.35” between slats (they suggest that if a can of soda can slide between the slats, they are too far apart). I assume other countries have similar standards. I hope I am misjudging the spaces, but that immediately caught my eye.
