Ten slats were missing from this 1863 walnut cradle.  Each had to be steam bent to a different curvature and twist.  Each was a slightly different length.  The job required making a template and a bending form for each, steam bending the 1/8" thick slats and finally gluing them into place.  The carved walnut floor stand that allowed the cradle to swing is not shown.
