This is the crib I made for my new baby boy. It’s been built with wedged through tenons so in the future i can break it down and convert it to a toddler bed. Eventually, the front and back will be the headboard and footboard for a fullsized bed. I had alot of fun making this project, and I hope it will be passed down for generations to come.

Really nice work. I’m sure it’ll be a family heirloom. By the way, if you need somet.hing to put you to sleep some night, try reading the federal regs for crib manufacturing, ........ http://www.cpsc.gov/businfo/frnotices/fr11/cribfinal.pdf

Great work.
My theory on kids is; keep’em in a cage until they turn 18 and throw them out on the bricks. LOL

I’m getting ready to assemble a walnut crib I’ve been making on & off for a couple months. Yours is a very clean design!
