I love it! I’m a big fan of black walnut. The base looks substantial, that makes it safe. Nice job.

Karson, I didn’t turn the spindles in the sides instead opted to use walnut dowels. I did shape them somewhat so that they are a little thicker in the middle than on the ends. Also, I did turn the knobs at each end of the top which hold the cradle in the stand. The cradle you made is outstanding and obviously required a lot more work and planning.

gbear, this is very nice. Love that Black Walnut! All of these cradles will help me with the design of the one I’m about to build.

gbear – I hope you had as much fun making the cradle as I did for my grandaughter. It gave me great pleasure in making it. We are going to make a little brass plaque and put in on the stretcher with the name and birthdate. When it goes to the next grandchild then it is passed down with another plaque.
Great job.
