A very pregnant Melissa with the dresser and changing table I made for Piper Caroline Suess. She is due on June 15th.
The dresser is made from 3/4 inch plywood and Poplar. I think I sprayed about 12 coats of paint on it... I am still learning. I made the molding with an old router bit someone gave me... I had never seen one like it before.
Cynde G. let me photograph and measure a dresser like this. Cynde's was bigger... this one is 5 feet long and heavy. She told me the best part of her dresser was the rounded edges. So I rounded all the edges, and I have to admit... she was right. Thank you Cynde G.
My next project is a small end table to go next to her glider. Then it is on to bigger projects. These two ladies look great. Especially since it was 1 AM! Nest building is hard work...

The pictures don't do it justice! The dresser is beautiful. Thank you so much dad! Piper and I are two lucky girls! You and mom are too too sweet. I love you so much!
I saw it in person and it's so beautiful. Joe I am again impressed. WOW.
Careful Joe, you might get an order for one. LOVE the dresser. Love the two ladies in/by the chair. LOVE the chair rail on the walls. did y'all do that too??
That nursery looks so great! Dad, I'm so impressed with your work, it's beautiful! Can't wait to see it in person!!!
What a wonderful talent you have. It is just beautiful- looking foward to seeing up close soon.
Joe, your work is amazing!!! What a fantastic talent you have for wood-working!
You guys are kind... Thank you. I do like sketching something and then trying to figure out how to actually make it. And... it helps to have a few thousand dollars worth of equipment.
Hopefully it will last a few years.
