We Finally got the carpet cleaned and walls painted in Megan's new room so we set the bed up tonight. That stain is a great match for the room's trim and door color - M.L. Campbell cinnamon. Top coats are Magnamax Satin lacquer. The Pink beadspread - well that was all the girls' choice. Megan does love monkeys though.
Headboard is 98% qtr sawn red oak (everything was made from 4/4 - glued up bed posts) and the entire bed was made on the SS, Laguna bad boy T1002S shaper, and that Jet floor mortiser finally got some use.
Only metal in the project was used to attach the first two layers of the capitals (two Kreg screws ea) to the top of the bed posts and the bolts used to attach the steel bed frame. Top pyramids cover the Kreg Screws
Megan says she does not want the bed AT ALL. I can really tell. :)
