Made out of solid hard maple, birch plywood (drawers) and painted MDF (drawer fronts). Designed to match the crib. This project was pretty involved, though a lot of fun as usual. The first challenge was the frame, which joins 4 big maple panels at 45-degree angles to create a continuous edge box. This always seems like it should go better than it does, but has required a bunch of tweaking each time we’ve done it. Then it was building an internal frame, 6 drawer boxes, and getting 6 drawer fronts to line up as precisely as possible.

The legs are the same as the crib and the maple knobs were purchased (no lathe in my shop).

Finally, I added a changing tray for the top, also built out of maple, that holds the changing pad and supplies. It is held to the top of the dresser by removable brackets.
