Baby crib wood selection

I like the look of contrasting woods. Where you put the contrast is a matter of personal taste, my preference is to contrast panels, but you’re going to be looking at it so what pleases you (and Mom-to-be of course) is the route to take. I finished my baby furniture with a sealer coat of clear shellac and then clear satin wipe-on poly. To my eye it makes the wood look rich, particularly walnut. Good luck and we’ll be waiting for pictures.

Walnut with maple:

All walnut (with some maple accents):

I talked to the Mother to be last night and she is leaning towards all Walnut. I am leaning towards a mix.
So we decided to plane a few pieces of lumber this weekend, finish them and just stick the together to see what we like the best.

I’ll try to get some pictures and a blog going on this one.

Shellac and wax is the most non-toxic finish… totally
safe.
