Grandbaby Cradle

[Mark Cothren]

Since I post 99% of my time in this forum, and since some parts of this are actually turned :D, I'm sharing in this forum as well.

The Grandbaby Cradle is all done except for applying finish sometime early next week. Dennis P and Joe M were both very gracious in assisting me, along with my wife and son - not to mention the online consulting I got from several others. And thanks to Terry Hatfield for locating and shipping me the thick stock to do the legs and feet!!!
