Our Laura Lynn Heritage Cradle is a full sized cradle based on a Betty Pfauts design measuring: 34" long, 26" wide (at the rockers), 31" high and weighing @ 40 pounds.  It is suitable for use by infants or young toddlers.  This heritage cradle design dates back to Early American times when mothers needed a cradle that would allow them to take their infant along while working out doors.  The cradle's roofed head board protects the child from direct sun, netting can be draped over as well to provide protection from insects and wind blown debris.  Even if you do not plan to employ these features as the settlers did, this cradle makes a beautiful addition to any traditional home.

We retain the Early American flavor of this piece with it's simple joinery and uncomplicated design, but add a few twists of our own to insure that it will serve generations of infants.  The cradle shown above is in Red Oak, at right is our Paint Grade, made of Poplar, a hardwood that accepts and holds paint very well. We can prime it, you paint it to match the decor of your nursery.

The Laura Lynn may also be ordered in a variety of other hardwoods and finishes. Use the buttons to the left to explore woods and finishes.
