Cradle for GrandChildren

This is a cherry cradle I built for my daughter who was expecting her first child and my second Grandchild four years ago and has since been used for two more grand children.

Nicely done; if that doesn’t rock her to sleep – what will?

Nice job! I built that same cradle a few years back. Yours came out great.

Love it. A cradle was my first project ever. it got me into the hobby. Mine is in a much lower league than this. Only had a couple tools hand me down tools and little know how. Always have liked cradle projects for that reason. Well done.

Wade, you make us Grandpa’s look good. Who said having a baby was easy, heck, the mother only carries it for 9 months while us GP’s have to craddle them for years.

Nice flowing lines and I have always been a sucker for cherry ever since my first project back in HS.
