Walnut cradle of my own design
In 2012, I was pregnant with my first daughter. I wanted to make a special cradle for her. This is the walnut I used as a template.
The rings of the wood layers symbolise new life
First, I drew out the cradle in full size, then made large ‘rings’ out of wood and glued them together.
Multiple births while making that one cot
I worked on it until the last day before I gave birth. Unfortunately, it was not ready then and the bathroom had to be finished too! When the second was due in 2019, I continued working on it. She slept comfortably in it!
Result
See the result here. I designed the stand myself. They are parts of circles, made of laminated elm wood.
Do you like it and are you also expecting family expansion? I would be happy to make a walnut cradle for you too. You can also rent the walnut cradle. Click here for more information.
