I finally finished the Murphy Bed I have been working on for the last month or so. This is my first project that I feel comfortable posting for all of you to see. Constructed using the Create-a-Bed Hardware kit from Lee Valley. Materials are Shop grade birch ply, red oak for the inner structure and maple for the "Trim". Finished with Flecto/Varathane "Early American" stain and 3 coats of Varathane SemiGloss Water Based. Neither my wife or I liked the "blocks" suggested for the legs, hence some reworking of the plans and a lot of head scratching figuring out how to do things.

Thanks to all of you for tips on finishing, and the Create-a-Bed system.
