Baby crib

[MikeMcCoy]

The carves of course are from the carver but the overall project was a cooperative effort between myself and another wood worker in NJ. Just goes to show that a wood project can be coordinated via email although I had my doubts for awhile.:roll:

Mike,
That's a clean example of some nice work. Good looking crib!

Beautifully Done Mike,
A real family treasure for years to come.

That is positively GORGEOUS!!!! If you don't mind my asking, what type of wood is that?

Looks like Cherry to me could be popular or basswood. See if I am a good guesser.

I need a plan like that to go with my cradle plan I bought a while back

Great work show us more please

It is all cherry. I've been buying my wood from the same guy in PA for the last 10 years and still find it amazing that I can get wood that pretty shipped to SC for less than I can buy locally. It was a neat project and pretty rewarding.

Mike,

Your project looks great......nice job. Just curious, did you do the carving before you cut the curves?

Also, I'd be interested in getting the name of your wood supplier in PA.

Thanks,

Rocky,

The carves were done before anything else was done. Looking back, my first post seems deceptive but it wasn't intentional. I just did the carves and arch layout with the CW and the gent in NJ did the rest of the construction. I was just trying to show how collaboration with other wood workers can expand the use of the machines.

My supplier in PA is Mike Morgan .... his website has his contact info and it is palumber.com

No affiliation but I've been using him for quite awhile for cherry, ash and quarter sawn oak and have never been disappointed.

Outstanding collaboration! Very impressive and professional!

I've had a couple of people PM and asked what the text said since I obviously didn't put a lot of thought in to which pic to post. The text says "The Day You Were Born The Angels Sang." I was sent a couple of close ups but they are too fuzzy to post.

Mike,

That is VERY impressive. I have a two year old and a three month old and I have seen my fair share of cribs. I can tell you honestly that if I had seen a crib like this in-store I would have jumped on it (not literally:) ) Its absolutely beautiful!

Jim,

The other fellow is a Woodnet member also and I asked him to generate a progress pictorial to post on that forum. It should be up in the next week or so.
