Plans and hardware came from Rockler. Wood is Maple with cherry accents. I can;t find the plan on the Rockler site anymore, but if you do a Bing for Heirloom Crib Plan, it should show up in one or more of the search results.
Believe it or not, this was my first real woodworking project. I didn’t start with boxes or something easy like dovetail or box joints.
I jumped right in and made a crib… lol That’s totally me.

I did the same crib as my first project and love it.
Lizardhead- I can send you a spare set of the plans if you need them but they will have to be modified since drop-side cribs are no longer legal to sell or give away in the US. Too many idiots couldn’t assemble the cheap Chinese crap so after 30 infant deaths in 10 years they were considered dangerous enough to ban. I will be converting mine to a solid side so it can be passed on and no one will feel the need to throw it out.

My father also built the crib from Rockler’s plans collection, but the addition of inlay cherry accents is incredible. I’ve never seen inlays that are 3 dimensional before. Good work!
