Some progress on the DIL's changing table in spite of few days off over the last month or so. I expect it will be finished before the big event if I can find a couple of days to work on it. The base is Poplar and MsBubba has volunteered to paint it with Milk Paint. Which is a good thing for several reasons, I hate to paint and it usually shows plus one of the draw bore pegs blew out the back side of the leg. A little pooky and paint and no one will know.
It is together to measure the lower slats. Once the slats are made I'll take it apart, clean up everything and hope I can get help on the glue up. The long stretcher and the slats will be pegged but not draw bored because there really isn't enough "meat" to draw bore. Then it will be on to making and installing a drawer to finish the base. The top will be some nice Cherry from the wood pile unless something else catches my eye.

From the other side, if you click it to big it you can see the blowout on the upper left leg.

BTW, that's a story stick with markings for the lower stretchers and slats inside the base. Story sticks come in very handy for fitting those kind of pieces.
