My daughter is returning home and is needing a new bed frame, an ash tree that had been growing near to her bedroom during her childhood had been harvested a couple of years ago and I thought it would be nice to make a shaker style frame from that. Head and footboard are completed my thoughts are regarding the stretchers connecting the two. I don't particularly want to use bolts and I've been considering using draw boring. In the short term it would be satisfactory, my concern is that if the frame needs to be taken apart there is a good chance that it would be difficult to acheive a snug fit the second time pegs were driven through. I haven't yet cut the mortises in the posts ab
nd before I do I thought I would ask if anyone had a better idea.
