Hello, I'm in the design process with a craftsman style panel bed, taking cues from John's Stickley Panel Bed at Eagle Lake Woodworking. I'd really rather not use bed bolts for hardware as I don't want holes in the legs or though-hardware. Does anyone have experience with the various mortised or surface-mounted bed hardware options available from Rockler, Lee Valley, etc? Or any other joinery methods that are solid and inconspicuous?
Specifically, I'd like something really solid but it need not come apart easily (don't plan on moving bed often).
Thanks for any input!
Dave
