Recreate an 18th century cradle with its gracefully scrolled facia as your next family heirloom. All joinery is done with pegs, as the original would have been. This functional cradle will display your skills to the next generation.

Optional heart motif in the footboard can add a country decorative touch.

A list of materials doubles as an exact cutting list, there is a detailed exploded diagram, and all hardware requirements are provided. The exploded diagram is so detailed that project specific assembly instructions are not provided.
