Let me start by saying thanks to everyone that offered advice for my Rustic Bed project. I received advice ranging from what to pay for the reclaimed Douglas Fir all the way to how to stain the end grain properly. Love this group!
I delivered the bed to my daughter last night. It's a 5 hour round trip, but I got a nice dinner out of it. ;-) With our conflicting schedules, a weekend trip was at least a month out so I bit the bullet and made the drive after work.
Here are some pics...

The Dressed Up Bed
The Edge Of The Headboard
The headboard weighs a bit over 70 pounds, the whole bed is around 110. It should hold up for a couple of years. ;-)
Thanks again to all!
