Cradle 

 

There's something visceral and organic about seeing a newborn snug in a wooden cradle while its mother sits nearby. It is the stuff of memories that the passing years will soften and tinge with gold. It's also the first step in the making of a family heirloom. [Cradle Photo] This cradle was custom made. It stands 32-1/2" tall by 35-1/2" long by 17" wide. Made of plain white oak, it is finished to standard.
