The most recent effort. At the lumber store I handed my ticket to the fork lift driver, a burly man with a prodigious goatee and a plethora of tattoos covering his calves. The guy saw that we wanted a healthy amount of walnut and asked what we were doing. We told him and he said, "That ain't a crib, its a throne." Baby Maddux is cuter than this crib, but if there is a throne out there that comes close, it is this one. The bulk of this six sided piece is dark walnut. We went with a sunrise theme with the moon and some stars in the side panels. The sunrise on the front is made of alternating cherry and maple slats. The sun, moon, and stars (also maple and cherry) are inlaid into the back three walnut panels. If ever there were a throne fit for an infant prince, it is this one.
