That’s a nice piece. The accents really add to it’s appeal. Thanks for posting!

Great Rick. Are changing table pads a standard size like cradle mattresses?

Beautiful piece Rick, I like the two-tone…

I love the mayple accents and with six large drawers, it must be plenty large. I can’t wait to see the crib, it’s going to be breath taking.

Thanks for the nice comments. To answer your question Karson, most changing table pads are a standard 16” wide. I made the top to have 18” from the front edge to the back railing to allow an extra buffer space. It also worked well with the proportions of the piece.

I forgot to mention in the heading, this was the largest piece that I built with the entire structure being solid wood. Before it was always plywood carcass with a face frame. It was also one of the only projects I’ve done without having every little detail drawn out before beginning, which is a big accomplishment for the “anal” side of me.

Rick this is wonderful woodworking. I really like the touch with the layered top railing. Outstanding! This is something you should copyright.

great design and creation.
Congrats on the first “with little detail drawn out before beginning”—that must have been nerve-wracking

Nice work Rick! I’m a big fan of contrasting woods. I’d like closer look at the side panels, they look interesting.

Looks outstanding! Love the two tone.

Yes, very nice… the side panels, they don’t quite look like alternating strips. Is that one, or a couple carefully selected pieces with contrasing color and figure?
