The little fella (no so little 9yo) needed a new bed. Was going to do a WIP but since I've go no work on at the moment it was full steam ahead.
So off to the timber stash of recycled gems I've had for some time now to choose a 'select grade' of timber.
Here's some of what I selected/found.

I had a couple of old bed heads and a bed end (covered in paint) so it was out with the strippa. Sorry no pics.
Any way after 4 days, slicing and dicing on the table saw shoving it through the thicky and punching it with the morticer I had heaps of sanding to get done.
Once all that was finished out with the glue and clamps and waiting time. Then applying a suitable finish. A family mixture (secret recipe), still to give it a coat of wax.
A couple of bed side tables and bed head and end. The top of the mattress will be about 3' (900 mm) off the ground. So plenty of room underneath for storage. (next project)

Still working on the bed base. One those old metal bases with the springs on it.
I just remove all that stuff and put a set of slats across it.
