I just finished my 6th or so crib board, thought i'd post it here, they make pretty solid christmas presents. I've been using the rockler jig, its super easy to use and cheap, can't recommend it enough.
This was my first one, quilted maple and curly claro.

Second and third in the same style. Sipo mahogany and angel step maple, and walnut and angel step.

After my first few I came up with a new design, the drawer is made with an MDF template and a router collet. I like this style better, but I'll let all the experts be the judge of that.
Curly ambrosia maple and curly bastogne walnut. Shellac finish, brusso knob. Theres a 1/4 magnet that holds prevents the drawer from sliding out at will.

Same style, pomelle sapele and curly black walnut.

Can I get on your Christmas list? Those boards are much nicer than any I've ever played on.
