Baby Cradles

The baby cradles I build are meant to be heirloom items. More detail work and attention goes into these cradles than almost anything else I build. All work is put aside when I'm constructing a cradle. Babies don't wait! Plan ahead, however. It's best if I have 12 weeks notice to design and construct the cradle before the baby arrives.

My unique design allows for many customization possibilities. The spindles are hand shaped using an antique spoke shaver. Additionally, the keyed tenons allow the cradle to be completely disassembled in a matter of minutes and packed flat. All the hardware is handcrafted solid wood with the exception of the swing mechanism. I use a non-toxic finish on cradles that is hand rubbed and imparts a beautiful luster.

 
This walnut cradle features lacewood inlays on the ends, knobs, and supports.

"Thank you for the cradle. It is absolutely perfect and we LOVE it!!!"
- S. Knowles, Orange Park, FL
 
 
 

This cradle was made from poplar, pine, and red oak. The spindles were turned on a lathe and no two are alike to give it special character. The body swings freely or locks in place for naptime.

The "Little Saint" Changing Table

This changing table is made of cypress and features Fleur de Lis details on the doors. It's spacious drawer provides room for wipes, lotions, grooming kit, etc. that is necessary for a baby. The storage area below has ample room for diapers, wash cloths, etc. The four corner posts of this cabinet are a full 3"thick, so it's not going to budge even if you have a baby that likes to shake that table!

When baby has outgrown the table, the top is removable. It can then be replaced with a cypress flat top making it a versatile storage cabinet for any room of the house.
