Daughter’s Crib
Unfinished crib.
This was my wood-working project. I found a plan online that I liked, then made it fit what I wanted it to look like. (I love sketch-up!) The wood is Red Balau. It is a deck material, and EXTREMELY hard. I cut everything out at my in-law’s shop. I drove the pieces 300 miles to my apartment, and assembled the crib in my spare room. When it came to finishing it, I chose to just oil it and let the beauty of the wood shine through. I then used the wipe on poly (Still in my spare room!) and finished it with some wax. I built the base out of some 2 x 2’s. Overall, I am pleased with how it turned out. I can see where I need to improve in the future, but it’s a start!
