step up for baby crib

step up for baby cribMy son and his wife came home for our Christmas celebration. He asked after we got done with dinner and opening gifts if he and i could make a step up to put in front of the walnut crib i made for my granddaughter. He and his wife are expecting again and she is having a hard time reaching over the front of the crib the bigger she gets. They just wanted something simple so this is what we came up withi went through my wood and found a piece of spalted maple 2 inches thick by 12 inches wide and cut it to 36 inches long. the legs are 7 inches tall for a total height of 9 inches tall. this should be all she need to get the baby over the rail. i wanted it to be heavy enough that it wouldnt tip when she stepped up on it but not so heavy she couldnt move it around if needed.My sone and i had a great day in the shop but didnt quite get it finished before he had to head home so i finished it up for him this morning, Now to make arrangements to get it to him.This is my first project using spalted maple but ti won't be my last. Walnut is the wood i reach for first but i think this maple might be a close second. the step if finished with 5 coats of clear satin laquer. im really happy with the fiinished project
