Samuel’s Cradle
Samuel's Cradle
This cradle was prepared for Samuel, the first child of Joe and Rebecca, and my first grandchild. Plan is “Pendulum Cradle” from Wood Plans. Pretty much followed the plan as is, except I used mortise/tenon instead of dowel joints, and cut mortises for each slat instead of running a 1/4 groove the length of the top and bottom rails (75+ mortises!). Also, I modified the upright/trestle joint so the stand could be knocked down. It was a good plan – smooth rocking motion also. Cherry with 3 coats of danish oil. I ended up gluing some 3/4″ planks togetherĀ to get the 1 1/16 thickness for the stand, but it worked out well.
