That looks good! You guys did a great job! I'm sure that it will be handed down through the family and meny babys will get to enjoy it.

That looks great.

I'm not very impressed with the organized tools in the back, That is the sign of a sick mind! :wink:

I've not seen one designed this way, granted I don't spend time shopping cradles, but I really like it. The work you put in on the box joints stands out, the shape and the wood looks great.

I hope the child and parents enjoy your efforts, it looks fine.

Thanks everyone. Reelinron -- If it wasn't for my brother always putting the tools back, the walls would be empty. Now matter how hard I try to keep the shop organized, I am always "losing" tools. I lost a razor knife for almost a week during this project. Of course I found it right after I bought a new one.
