How to Build a Modern Crib from White Oak | DIY Crib That Converts to Toddler Bed

In this DIY woodworking project, I show you how to build a modern baby crib from scratch that converts into a toddler bed!
If you're into maker projects, DIY furniture, or custom woodworking builds, this is the perfect video for you.

I'm 201 days late finishing this build (yikes!), so follow along as I race to complete this modern crib made from beautiful white oak.

This step-by-step crib build includes woodworking techniques like cutting precise miter joints, building strong and safe crib rails, and adding functional drawers for extra storage. I’ll also walk you through how to apply a perfect natural finish using Rubio Monocoat, giving the crib a smooth, child-safe final look.
