    mission bedroom just about complete

    Just wanted to share what my other winter project was. All I have to do now is the lowboy and the bedroom suite will be complete. Haven't figured out how many hours it took, (or board feet) but my wife sure likes the finished product. (makes it easier to spend $$$ on tools)

    Very nice. I really like the QS oak on the bed. I can see a similar set being added to my "to do" list in the near future.

    Beautiful bedroom set Gary. I love the warm color. Furniture like that would cost a small fortune – if you could even find it!

    That is very nice. I'm a fan of qs oak too. That is a very good reason to acquire tools.
    Any day I wake up is a good day.

    Nicely done. I was thinking mission for the bedroom as well. Then the wife said, "There is no way I'm dusting all of that!!!!"

    Very nice! You got some awesome QS grain on that footboard.

    I made the same headboard, but we didn't want the footboard because we sit on the end of the bed. I also made two of the dressers from that same set of Wood Mag plans. But the wood I got for the headboard didn't have as much ray fleck as what you have.

    Really nice! I have to ask? Fumed or dyed? If dyed then which dye did you use?

    Great job. You probably don't want to know how many hours it took. Always seems to take longer than you thought. Lots of mortise and tenon joints. The finish looks perfect. Waiting the see the final piece.

    Well, it looks as if bedroom furniture is the menu of the day Nice looking work! I have also done a complete bedroom furniture deal in the past and it was well worth the effort.

    Nice work Gary, the grain shows up real well
