For an expected grandchild. A 'topper' that holds the changing pad and a "supplies" area is yet to be started so the dresser will make the baby shower but, the topper may be late. I should still beat the kid to his room though .

Maple back slats are beaded to show off while carrying it into the party. Like the walnut pegs that hold the bread boards, these will never be seen after install, the beading was just for fun and a little "wow" factor.

I'll get to work on the topper but, I don't think the finish will be cured in time for the party. I do have plenty of time to finish the topper and install it before the kid sucks air though.
