This is my first try at making any kind of furniture. I used all rough cut and resawed it to the size I needed.

Jim - that is a really nice piece, nicely done. What is the finish that is on it if you don't mind sharing?

Outstanding!
If this is your first try then you should be bursting with pride.

It has a water base finish that I sprayed on with a hvlp sprayer. That was also a first.

You obviously don’t have any talent for woodworking and should give it up now.
Seriously, that turned out beautifully.
It’s hard to tell from the pictures, is that a carving or appliqué?

Real nice work on that crib Jim. Were the slats all done with a router and jig or done free hand with a bandsaw?

I rough cut the slats on a band saw then I used a router and a jig. It was still a pain in the neck, there's 52 slats. Thanks for all the coments

No kidding! This crib rocks. I might as well throw in the towel now. Thanks to Jim I've lost all pride in my first project (which was also a crib).Originally Posted by Harold Burrell
