Nice job, that should stay in the family for years to come.

I love it, I’m in the planing stages for my daughter in laws first child. She picked out a similar crib picture. I’ve never done bent lamination so my question is how much memory to account for when bending?
Thank you

I know that scenario. Whish we talked about the paint before I made it! That is a great project. Looks great.

I didn’t have much springback, maybe 3/8” on the long lamination on the back-but it really depends on the wood, how thin you slice it and the glue that’s used. Also, in this design the curved parts are fastened to parts that have the curve cut, so the laminated parts are forced to behave.

wonderful job!

Beautiful. One on the nicest I’ve seen so far. I would love to see some build pics if you have them.

Unfortunately, I was on a deadline that couldn’t be ‘pushed’ and didn’t take the time to take build pics.

This is so beautiful and done with a lot of tender loving care. It’s a wonderful project.

I see what you did there. ;-)

Congratulations! Our daughter was the first grandkid on both sides and she was ridiculously spoiled. We didn’t have to buy clothes for her until she was 3. That being said, she never got anything this nice. How did you design/carve the tree? By hand? CNC or something?

Looks great! Pity about the teary finish. What did you use for fasteners?

Thanks! No fasteners in the individual parts—mortise & tenon hold the rails and stiles together. The sides are fastened to the front and back with Connector bolts and Cross Dowels so it can be knocked down.
