My wife bought a solid wood headboard and metal frame years ago, before I came along.
She said that she wished she had bought the foot board and rails also.
So, I decided to make the foot board and rails to match.
Our master bed is from the same company and solid cherry also.
Except the rails. I noticed this week that the rails are made from plywood.
Question for bed makers:
Would you make the rails from solid cherry or cherry plywood?
I can see that the plywood may not warp as quick as a solid rail.
I even thought of gluing two solid linear pieces together to make stronger but don't know if it is necessary.
Thanks,
Joe
