    Platform Bed Design

    I am looking to start this project in the next couple of weeks and thought I would throw it out there to get everyone's advice.

    Foot board Cherry Panel Closeup 1

    The cherry board I picked up for the foot board is a good example of wood having character, in fact if ever there was a board that had an attitude I would say this would be it. Through the span of this single 7 inch tall board there are three distinct changes in direction of the grain, a...
