Looks good - I especially like the headboard/footboard styles.


Thank you Morris. As a side, I priced 4x4 oak. IIRC around $600 for the
posts. No thanks. I ended up building plywood posts, hollow in the center
and cutting 3/16" thick oak veneer to glue around the perimeters. I saved
about $550 doing them that way. ;~)


I wouldn't have guessed from looking at the photos. I'm not sure you
should tell people about that. :-D

Oh and BTY!!!! I used my Kerf Maker to make the muntins on the upper panels
on the foot and head boards. All half lap jointery. First try, perfect
fit.


Gotta love a tool that works this well. You might need to think about
applying that savings toward the JM-1. ;-)
