Very nice, Glenn. Light-years better than any store bought changing table. I hated the ones we bought for our kids.

Glen - Great attitude and presentation of a truly lovely project. Kudos sir!
Thanks everybody, you're too kind. I'll try to snap a few better pics once it is in better surroundings.
Glenn, I'll pile on with the praise. That is a very nice piece; great proportions, thoughtful wood selection, and very well crafted. It's going to serve a lot of newborns well. I'm sure it will be a cherished possession.

I finally got it out of the shop so here's a few pics in a better setting. It was deeper than the hearth so I propped it up on a torsion beam and a piece of scrap.

I've only recently started to have my rotated pics un-rotate when posting. This is just me trying to show the butterflied raised panels.

I tried to pay attention to the figure on the arched stretchers.

The chatoyance on the corner posts is kinda fun.

I got pretty lucky on the top. I pulled both boards from the same blank but, even still the light can sometimes play tricks . . . after glue-up of course. This time worked out well.

Well, the shop is clear so no more excuses for not starting the changing topper. Thanks to everyone for the kind words and comments.
The topper is just a frame with rabbeted corner joinery and a sliding dovetail divider. The divider keeps the changing pad put and provides an area for wipes and diapers and what not.
I use a router table sled for the sliding dovetail.

The initial finish will cure for a couple days.

Then I will put in the bottom panel and finish it up.
