I designed and built this changing table for our Son before he was borne in “06”. The basic shapes where inspired by a commercial design my Wife liked and would have probably purchased had I not offered my idea to make a convertible version. My version is designed to convert to a small chest of drawers when the changing table is outgrown. It can easily be converted back again if the need arises. This was also my first project to noticed and accepted by Woodcraft Magazine and is featured in issue 13 Nov 06 project #57.
The project features Q-sawn white oak, Mahogany and mahogany crotch veneer. Thanks for looking.

Very nice work. You seem to like those two contrasting woods.
They do look cool!

As soon as I saw this one, I knew it was yours. You have a very distinctive style. I tend to look at the pictures first before I read the copy. I was confused and wasn’t sure what I was looking at. Does it have one drawer or four?
When I read that is was an infant’s changing table, I was blown away. This is a terrific design and far nicer that any I’ve previously seen. I like the concept of being able to convert it to a small chest. It certainly prolongs the useful life of the project.
Very nice, Dewayne.

Thanks for the comments all.
Don, In the first pic it has one drawer and two open shelves as well as a front rail to help prevent baby from rolling off. When converted to the chest of drawers three more drawers are added and the front rail removed (Dry fit mortise and tenon) and a hardwood top added. Or use as many drawers as you like for changing table mode. My wife likes the open shelves for easy access.

Why didn’t I see this before I had to buy 2 changing tables! Beautiful work and wonderful to have something for a lifetime (like the kids)!
