What a beautiful crib. DH did an outstanding job on that. What art work. I love the color it is now. But then I love the natural color in wood. I have stripped many pieces and then use just Tung Oil to seal it and it always turns out so good.I think dark would distract from it's beauty. What a craftsman you have there. Has he made you a sewing table or cabinet? Does he do this as a hobby or is this his line of work. Beautiful !!!! What talent.
