Spock's cradle

[~TT40~]

AGES ago, I don't know if anyone remembers, but I asked about restoring old wood furniture. This was because we picked up an old cradle from an antique shop for $10, but it need some work.

It was in 2 bits and only tied together by lace - so needed to be reassembled and reinforced.
It also need a new paint job, just would involve sanding it back and re staining.

Well we have FINALLY finished. It took so long cause I was putting off the sanding bit (DH couldn't do it cause of his asthma) and I just didn't have time, and the thought of doing it was actually really painful...

But we did it. I sanded it back, and I stained it. and I went to the shops to get all the hooks and bolts it needed to be put back together and DH put it back together for me. =)

so I then thought I would share!!!!

so here we go, my attempt at attaching a photo =P and our finished product =)
