Rimu Spindle Cradle
The object of this design was to make a cradle along  traditional lines while remaining practical. It is made to be sturdy enough to last several generations. The construction of the cradle is post and rail, using mortise and tenon joints with framed panels at both ends. The cradle can be lifted from the stand. To keep the cradle from rocking when the baby is left unattended a wooden version of a draw bolt is fastened to the bottom of the cradle. When extended the bolt slips between the two turnings of the end post and stops movement of the cradle.
