Hi,
I want to build a queen-sized bed like this - using Quarter-Sawn White Oak.
It looks like these posts are 3-4" thick.
How would be the best way to build them?
Option 1 - Normal Glue-up to make the legs. Three 4/4 boards glued up - Disadvantage is that you wouldn't get the nice Quarter-Sawn flecking on the sides. I have done this many times.
Option 2 - Use a Lock-Miter bit to make a solid leg with 4 good QSWO faces with nice flecking.
How wide can a leg be using a Lock-Miter bit? Could a lock-miter bit be used to make a post this big?
I have never used one of these bits to make a solid leg with 4 nice faces.
Can anyone who has used a Lock-Miter bit tell me if this would work?
Any other ways you can think of to make a big, solid bed leg with 4 good faces?
Interested to hear your responses.
Thanks
Nate
