Wenge is currently about $20.00 per BF so, it's pretty cost prohibitive. Additionally, getting 8/4 for the legs and 6/4 for the top would also require a special order as well as a jump in price. Just for perspective.. The panels on the bed were a bit over $400. I did buy some extra to account for drawer fronts on the nightstands though...lol. I haven't started the designs for the nightstands yet but, I do have a few bits on hand thinking they'll be used. I have the AM 6/4 for the tops and the plug ins that get mounted in the tops like I did in the desk. Maybe a good chance to dabble in a veneer project! Haven’t really done that in a video yet.

Almost like you knew I'd picked up a pump and bag... There are some veneer projects coming up but, I'm not sure the nightstands will be the test drive of that stuff.. I do have another bedroom to do.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I would think a design similar to the desk drawers would fit well with the bed design.

Probably the direction I'll go.. I'll probably start some renderings next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodenskye (Bryan) Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Kev, good video as usual, have a question. On the top rails, did you do a stopped groove on the curved piece? In the video it looked like a through groove. Was the loose tenon used to basically seal up the groove (if that makes sense)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was not a stopped groove. Loose tenon certainly sealed it up but, it all still gets attached to the legs as well so will never be seen.

Woodenskye (Bryan) Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Thanks, didn’t think about leg attachment. Guess I could have answered my own question when part 2 comes out.😳 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted July 17, 2021 Author Share Posted July 17, 2021 Second (and last) video for the bed build is up! Huge thanks to the members of this group that engaged in the conversations around this build! You guys effected a lot of my decisions along the way! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
