Essential Workstation for new Parents

Hi Don;
—-congrartulations to you and your daughter on her third child on the way, as I know you must be very proud!!!

The changing table is very done very well, as you do all your wood work well. I like the use of pine here, pine to my way of thinking is still one of the ‘great woods’ of choice when making furniture.

What is the color shade and what is the finish? Also is that your signature on the top corner in the third photo?

Great piece of wood art Don, and one that is very useful!!!
GODSPEED,
Frank

Don,
That’s the nicest Pine I’ve ever seen. What was the stain and finish?

Wow! Wish I’d had that when my little ones still needed it. Nice work!

Thanks, guys.

The finish is a blend of walnut and mahogany colored Watco stains covered with a polyurethane finish. It’s one of the few times I’ve used a poly finish – but realizing the purpose of the table, probably the best choice.

Quote Frank: Also is that your signature on the top corner in the third photo?
Yes, Frank, those are my initials. As this was one of my early woodworking pieces, I guess I was so proud of the results I wanted to add a maker’s mark. In retrospect, it should have been in a less obvious location. I know use either of these, depending on the piece.

I wish I could have provided that for my son when my granddaughter arrived.

Somehow I missed this little gem. What a wonderful piece. I saw your initials on the corner as well and smiled as I thought of what must have been going thru your mind when you delivered this very special “workbench”!
