This is a changing table for a set of twins. I wanted to make use of a wide cherry board I had, but it had a split and knot in it. I butterflyed the split and added an extra one for asthetics. I then inlayed a disc over the cherry knot. The inlay is a bookmatched piece of crotch walnut. I explained this to the client as her being the inlay and the two butterflys being her future two sons. Of course I meant to do that!
The cabinet is once again recycled cherry and walnut, seeing as I have a barn full, most of my recent projects have been of said material. Two 8” deep cubbies on both sides with adjustable shelves and a dovetailed hard maples drawer sitting on blumotion slides. Doors also use blumotion as to be as kid friendly as possible. I put on 3 coats of gloss poly followed my a coat of satin to keep it from being to shiny. Should hold up to all the ones and twos….Thanks for looing.

Wow, I really like the design and the top! Walnut and cherry together is one of my favorite combinations.

Very very beautiful table, nice finish and strong built.
Could you imagine your customer reaction if there were four split that you got to butterfly it?

Rhett,
This is a beautiful piece. The wood combination is excellent and the inlays add a lot of visual interest to the piece.
Thanks for the post. I enjoyed seeing this piece.
