Arts & Crafts – Waylon’s Mission Cradle
I built this cradle for my first child. I planned on spraying it with a few coats of lacquer, but this little guy decided to come 3 weeks early, so the danish oil will work for now.
This cradle is an original design, though was inspired and adapted from a plan in Wood mag. I wanted to build a functional cradle, that also fit my home. I wanted it to follow Stickley’s mission design, though i could not find anything similar to what I wanted, so I designed my own plan using sketchup. The Cradle is 100% QSWO, all fully mortised, and the basket hangs through fully lubricated and sealed ball-bearings and stove bolts.

Well done. (Baby included)
Where can I find the plans for this cradle? I just signed up tonight so I'm not familiar with the logistics of the website yet.
I never really made a plan for it, I used sketchup to rough out the spacing and number of slats, but never finished a complete plan. My original idea was inspired by the cradle plan from the October 1987 issue of WOOD magazine, but the only part I ended up using was the ball-bearing.
