    bed set make over

    I have a 1948 mahogany tin bed set that I wanted to refinish and update with new pulls and better profiles (the set looks very plain) on the tops and drawers. Part of what I want to do involves turning the twins into one queen size bed by cutting one post off each head/foot board and re joining them at the proper width. Does anyone have any advice? I was originally going to use dove tails to join the two pieces together for stregth but am worried how it will look.

    Keith, got any pictures?

    It's hard to visualize on a blank piece of paper.

    Thats a good point. I guess its hard to vissualize what I'm saying. I'm new to the computer world as it is used for anything other than trading stocks. I haven't had a digital camera for very long and do not know how to get the pics on the comp. yet but I will work on it soon.
