Help!!!

I’d say you probably only need 1/2 of that, but I’d buy the 100 bf anyway. Extra lumber is a good thing!

It is $2-3(wider boards) per board foot for curly maple. I don’t think you can beat that. glivingston- I bought the plan and as you said “good plans”... I don’t think that applies here. It is a starting point.

figuring the sides as solid and the floor of the bed as good wood it would seem to approach 90 bf. looks like some of the frame may be thicker than 1” From the material list from plans you should be able to come closer . . . allow extra as there will be waste … er scraps for other projects of course I could be way off I just did a quick check of the material that would show

That would be a great price for curly maple.

I came up with about 80 bf roughly figuring, and as fredf says, add some for waste and you should be very close…

70-80 bd ft. A lot depends on your habits and condition of lumber.

Since I have told the rest of the world, I thought I would share it here. I hope the crib I have already started will be big enough to hold 2! First ultrasound yesterday had 2 babies. Talk about an amazing surprise!!!

Congrats. I build a crib and used this plan as a starting point. I used about 70 BF but I used plywood to make the base cabinet so that’s not included in the 70. I would go with at least 100 and if it’s a good deal, a little extra never hurt.

2 for the price of 1! Congrats!

Depending on the cost of the lumber, buy as much as you can afford. Sounds like you need 2 cribs, changing table / dresser (at least 1, probably 2), and lord only knows what else you will want to build for the younguns…

By the way, congrats.
