Here is a crib I just finished and delivered. Has 58 spindles. I had to use a steady rest for the side and end spindles. The finish is Transfast brown mahogany, Waterlox and polyacrylic water based finish.

John....very nice! Did you use a duplicator? It makes my head hurt to think how much concentration it would take to make each of those freehand. Regardless, you have my respect and admiration!

I did not us a duplicator. Just a paper template on plywood to mark off the position of each element. Needless to say, I am very tired of doing spindles.
