Default Baby Change Table

This is a change table for my first grandchild.

As these things have a limited useful life I made it so that it can
convert to another use. You might notice that the legs are in two parts
with the join about 6" from the top. This is so that when my daughter
has no use for it as a change table she can easily cut off the top
section ( it just has a dowel and glue joint) and it converts into a
serving trolley for the barbecue.
The wood is Tasmanian Silky Oak, the castors are lockable.
The finish is oil and wax.


Tasmanian Silky Oak, eh?? We don't get much of that around here. How much
does this stuff cost?

Looks nice. Making it a multipurpose table is a good idea.


I think the timber for that was well under $100, probably not much more
than $60.

It is a hardwood, nice tight grain and I think it will stand being
outside as long as she keeps the wax up to it!
