Book rack for baby

[Ohio Mike]

Wife asked me to build a baby's book rack similar to this one for our niece's baby shower.



In the FINISHING forum last week I asked for advice on painting it. Thank goodness she decided she liked BLO/Poly better.
(Note: It really pays to make up a sample board and show them how beautiful straight-grain douglas fir is.)



I don't know the dimensions of the one that inspired the project, but I'm sure mine is a bit smaller. At only 17" high and 24" long, it is designed to sit right next to Mama's chair to make choosing a book for baby quick and easy.





Thanks,
Mike

Your version is an heirloom apparent.

Hey Mike you're laughing, but I agree with Gary. Yours looks much better than the original. Hopefully your wife sees it that way.

As long as you used long nails it should last through many generations.

Mike, I'm with Bill and Gary. Yours is much better than the inspiration piece.

So how long before the niece uses it as a reading chair.

Nice item, be sure to sign it for posterity.
