This is for my newest Grand child. Addision Rose of Texas, born 11/6/08. Yea I know I’m just just a little late. Its made out of Walnut with UV Maple interiors. Solid maple drawer box’s with Blum motion under mount slides. The finish is die stain and laquer.
Thanks to my Daughter and Son-in-law for their love and understanding and most of all their patience (since I’m a little late). And a special thanks for my newest Grand Daughter, she’s a dandy!
Thanks for having a look!

This piece turned out brilliant! You did a great job. I look forward to seeing the crib. Everything except that big scratch in the bottom right corner is outstanding. J/K. Nice work.

We just got through loading them up and sending them on their way home. Now I need to get finish on the crib and get it hauled down there too.
Thanks to everyone!

Absolutely beautiful. One question, how many years have you devoted to woodworking to have such skills?

Les,
This is an incredibly beautiful piece of furniture. Your craftsmanship is absolutely flawless. Your daughter/granddaughter are truly blessed. (But we were expecting to see Addison Rose in one of the pictures!)
We can’t wait to see the crib finished!

mgradwohl the beads are hand scraped. Look up my crib blog it has pictures of the tool I used.
Lightweight I’ll get some pictures of Addison on here soon.
Thanks guys!

WOW!
Can I ask how you do that beading around the edges of the drawer/door panels? Are the rails and styles routed to achieve that around the edges or is that a separate piece of moulding?
Just trying to learn from the masters here.
Thanks!

is this a self made design or did you have some plans that you used for building the changing table?
Look very very nice

ddsdmf, My daughter gave me a picture of what she wanted and I went from there. I changed it to make it look a little better. But there is do drawings, I just designed this one on the fly.
Thanks!
