Kev Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 After a super long day in the shop today, I made pretty good progress! The FB is ready for some sanding and attaching to the legs. The HB is at the same stage minus the panels because I couldn't get enough Wenge locally. I'm 2 panels short for the HB and the Wenge won't be in until next week. Time to work on the legs and rails.. I'm looking forward to seeing this with finish! The panels are floating for the record, no glue on them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I think the same every time I run a piece thru the jointer and planer. And the collection from the dust collector doesn’t look good as mulch. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I don't think I have ever seen sapwood on wenge but it looks good off center. I think if it had ended up in the center it would have looked to intentional. Do I see a chamfer detail on the stiles?

An 1/8” round over is not much more than a couple of passes with a sanding block. I don’t like a sharp edge where exposed to contact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're small and they're many. I don't normally wear cloves in the shop but, I did when milling the Wenge.. I sanded the panels to 180 before installing them. Once the Wenge is sanded and has some finish on it, it's fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Is the pic a dry fit and if so, will you be pre-finishing the panels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's glued up but, I probably should have prefinished the panels. They are a pretty snug fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 I'll be home late tomorrow night.. Hopefully picking up Wenge for the bed Friday morning.. Provided I get the needed Wenge, I'd like to have the headboard put together for the bed by the end of the weekend.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
