A Tisket, A Tasket

If I were to poll the three to five regular Souzek Republic readers (hi Grandma), my guess is that more than half would be doubting my woodworking skills at this point, specifically my ability to produce a cradle from raw materials before the baby arrives in the next month or so (!). They have good reasons to second-guess my ambitious project: I announced it almost four months ago and haven't mentioned it since, I have done only one other project before (a humble bookcase), and time is certainly short. But I'm here to quiet the naysayers. The basket (in other words, the hard part) is done. I will offer you only a glimpse as proof, as if this project was some terribly exciting concept car, but the work will be unveiled in its entirety soon enough.
