theodorescott Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 The frame is cherry and the slats are pine. I made it using the book Beds by Jeff Miller. I mostly followed the project in the book that is called "First Bed". The instructions are focused on jigs and power tools. Since I focus on hand tools, I ignored a lot of the individual steps and just did what seemed to make sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theodorescott Posted August 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Yes, those are bed bolt covers made by Horton. They swing out of the way to allow access to the bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byrdie Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Very nice. Not too simple yet not over done. Color is good and the hardware fits. Congratulations on an excellent outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardA Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Well executed, I like it! BR huh? I used to live in Washington Parish. Left because my wife got tired of people like Katrina..... They're so rude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Theodore, great looking job. Well done.Richard, hate to break the news to ya but you moved too soon. We eventually got everyone of the Katrina folks. Some are very productive citizens but most have either killed each other and/or ended up in a jail cell in Texas. Not being negative, just saying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
