I have gotten a lot of use out of this pool table slate (see these entries The Brunswick Slate Story Part I and From Pool Hall to Countertop – Second Life for Brunswick ) Last fall when our second daughter was on her way we needed a new changing table setup. So I cobbled together this little guy with bits and pieces of wood lying around and the last large piece of the Brunswick slate. The wood is Ipe and Brazilian cherry so I guess both of these woods came from Brazil. The cherry is leftover flooring tongue and groove from a project in our house. The legs are Ipe and came from a trellis that had been outside in the weather for about six years. I made the trellis for a client who wanted to grow clematis on it. After a few years she realized the clematis were never going to climb all the way up the trellis. She asked if I could shorten it so I cut off about three feet from the lower half.The cut off legs made good stock for the legs on the changing table. A little about that Ipe wood. It has become very popular with builders of high end decks due to its durability, insect, fire and rot resistance.
