[size=14pt][size=12pt]UPDATE: I've added a picture of the final installation of the bambino component. All of his edges are rounded over and smooth (as a baby's bottom) and the fit is just right![/size][/size]
I built a bassinet for my bambino who is due at the end of March. I built the entire piece out of solid walnut (besides the mattress support slats which are made of cedar). The joinery is compliments of Festool via Mr. Domino. Love this tool! The finish is General Finishes Arm-R-Seal in semi gloss. It was wiped on with a cotton rag and knocked down between coats with 0000 steel wool. At this point i haven't secured the cedar in place. If i choose to do so at all, i will probably do so conservatively with a few dollops of latex caulk or something of the sort. So, without further adieu, here are the pics.
Here's what i started with
I had to glue up the legs because i didn't have 8/4 stock
Domino with trim stop on batch duty
Bunch of mortises
Some early and first ever domino dry fitting
The legs roughed out
The first panel glued up
Domino porn and some tools of the trade
The front
The back
Starting to take shape! (also my epiphany moment of realizing i need more clamps)
Nearly there! Couple coats of finish
Walnut grain closeup
Complete!
Cedar mattress supports
Bambino installed
Thanks for looking!
