OK guys, Here it is, my first furniture project. Let me start by saying nearly everthing involved with this project was a first for me from the design to the type of finish, so go easy on me.
(As you can see from the pics LOML wasted no time bringing in the girl's stuff)
Double bed/crib made from hickory with a spray lacquer finish.
Full extension 26" drawer glides with 3/4" birch plywood boxes built using T&G joints

removable dividers
Double arched raised panel Footboards/headboards
Framed magnetic boards on partition wall.
Headboards are small 3 drawer dressers which are designed to be removed and used separately once the girls outgrow the bed. Simply lift them out and install the mattress extensions, then reverse the beds and the footboard becomes the headboard.
Beds are finished on all sides so they can be used separately if the girls want their own room later. Backside of bed has false drawer fronts.
And here's confirmation of my decision to build the drawers entirely out of 3/4" ply and T&G joints
Along with most everthing else on this project this was the first time I ever worked with hickory and I'm convinced it has to be one of the hardest woods known to man.
