Let the finishing begin!! All the parts are finally ready to be prefinished before assembly! #woodworking #walnut #maple #cedar #crib #nurseryfurniture #finishing #cribparts #cribrace #baby #declan (at Northwest Calgary, Calgary, Alberta)

My makeshift installation tool for 1/4-20 brass inserts! Pretty effective! I think @philipmorleyfurniture gave me the idea from one of his YouTube videos. I’ll put some drops of CA glue down the outside of the insert to help lock it in place. These inserts are what the mattress rails will be mounted to to set the height of the crib mattress. #woodworking #brass #inserts #walnut #crib #nurseryfurniture #cribparts #cribrace #babydeclan (at Northwest Calgary, Calgary, Alberta)

All the pretty crib parts, lined up in rows! That’s all the parts sander to 220 and wiped down with mineral spirits. Next up is prefinishing before assembly and glue up! #woodworking #walnut #maple #cedar #crib #nurseryfurniture #cribparts #cribrace #baby #declan (at Northwest Calgary, Calgary, Alberta)

Save for the plywood pane that the mattress will sit on, that’s all the crib parts built! Still have some joinery details and all of the surface prep /edge breaking to do, but getting close!! #woodworking #walnut #maple #cedar #crib #nurseryfurniture #cribrace #baby #declan (at Northwest Calgary, Calgary, Alberta)

These are all getting glued together tomorrow!! #woodworking #walnut #maple #crib #cribrace #glueup #festool #domino #joinery #baby #declan (at Northwest Calgary, Calgary, Alberta)

I never get tired of how @osmocanada Top Oil finish brings out the warmth and character of walnut. I also tent to be drawn to boards with character.

First coat of finish on the crib parts!! Love seeing the walnut transform from that dull brown/grey to the rich brown and tan! @osmocanada Top Oil Clear is a favorite. No stinky smell and easy to apply! #woodworking #finishing #walnut #maple #cribparts #cribrace #baby #declan (at Northwest Calgary, Calgary, Alberta)

Miss process. Reclaiming some old cedar tongue and groove 2x6 boards and turning them into a 1/2” tongue and groove back panel for the crib! #woodworking #cedar #crib #nurseryfurniture #cribparts #cribrace #baby #declan
