**Cradle Boards**
After a baby is born a cradle is made for him or her. The cradle board is a resting place so the mother can do her daily chores. On the cradle board the headboard is made of oak that is shaved and then bent into half a circle and is stuck near the top of the board and goes over the baby's head. The lightening bolt or lacing is made of a strip of leather, buckskin or cloth. Then it is inserted through the side loops, fastening the baby safely into the cradle board.
