    Did you make all of those spindles yourself, they look great.

    Kazek,
    Nice crib.

    Click on edit post and then click where it says "go advanced"

    once you are into advanced editing you can then change the title. FYI

    I see you figured the title change out.

    If I may, I wanted to complement the curves on the piece. Very nice touch. I had to look twice but the second time they jumped out at me. Just an overall graceful design.

    Welcome to the Creek BTW!

    Very well done, Kazek. As Dewey stated, the curves you added make it very unique and I love the grab bar on each end on top of the legs. I can see an olympic parallel bar champion in the makiing.

    And since you have grown kids... you know the little one's will be testing for escape routes not long down the road... and the bad news is they usually find one. Up.. up.. and away while they're not looking!

    Excellent...

    Beautiful crib Kazek, I love the ornamental spindles and graceful lines.
    But, you finished it way too early. You’re supposed to be burning the midnight oil late in March, or even better, early April! That’s the way I do it anyway.

    Welcome to SMC

    P.s. I guess you're pretty good at spindle making by now, eh?

    No kidding...That reminds me, you better get that cabinet done before your wife buys too many elephants to fit into it.

    Those spindles look wonderful on the crib...a nice little detail that makes it unique from so many other cribs "out there"! Nice...

    WOW! Very very nice. I also love the curves on the legs and the spiral spindles. Great design! An heirloom for sure.

    Very nice project Kazek. I'm sure it will be an heirloom.

    "i have a grand child on the way made from walnut."

    How do you know your grandchild will be made from walnut? Did they have an ultra-sound? I hear that a walnut grandchild is much easier to deliver than a hard maple one.

    She's already got way more than will fit the cabinet. I figure we'll have some kind of quarterly rotation system.
