Welp, I've got a few build threads started that haven't really moved on. Here's why.
My wife decided that I could build us a bed since we can't really find anything we like. Have I ever built a bed? Nope. Well, not until now.
I am in no way shape or form a master craftsman, but I'm proud of myself on this one. It actually works, and didn't fall apart.
I went with plans I found online and if I ever built another I'd use thicker, nicer wood, but white pine takes stain like a champ and looks pretty cool IMHO. My garage is messy, last thing to organize after moving in. Don't judge me...
Headboard before staining
Bed frame before staining.
Headboard after Minwax Dark Walnut stain and Satin Poly.
Same for the frame.
All Done.
