Benjamin’s Crib

When we found out we were expecting our first child, I knew right away I wanted to create a special piece of furniture for him. I had experimented on other smaller projects but this was my first large piece of fine furniture. I searched online to find the exact crib I wanted and found one similar to what I had in mind. It had no plans so I spent many hours researching crib safety standards and measuring other cribs in order to devise my own plans. It’s knockdown joinery so that we can transition it to a toddler bed and full size bed, making this a true heirloom for our family. It is made of quartersawn white oak and finished with 3-step process-SealACell sealer, a coat of candlelite gel stain, and ArmRSeal satin finish.

I am currently working on a matching dresser to complete this set and hope to share it with you all in the near future!
