Hey all-
Long story short the wife and I needed a couple of queen beds and two twin beds in short order. In the span of one Sunday afternoon and 3 very long nights (after work!) I built these beds. Never built a bed before so that made it just a little more of a challenge. I don't think they turned out too bad.
One is out of white oak the other is red oak and the twins are pine. The oak is from trees I cut a couple of years ago. The pine I tried to order locally, but they mixed up the delivery. I had to get them done, so that night with a flash light and headlights I was sawing up some left over kiln dried logs from a log cabin project Next morning on my way into work (3 hours of sleep!) just passing my neighbors barn I spotted the lumber. They delivered it to the wrong place!
