Tom's Project

Tom and Kelly's violin teacher had a baby and Tom wanted to make her a special gift. He designed this beautiful baby cradle and made it from scratch. As you can see, it turned out perfect.

We sewed this mattress and put the "C" on it for the baby's name, Chloe.

The wood he used is curly maple.  The small piece is mahogany.

The sides are shaped like a violin.

The ends are shaped like a violin bridge.  The rocker was made from old wood Tom had purchased from a violin maker's estate.

The base was pieced together from slats of wood.
