    Beautiful bed! The two woods work well with each other and you paid a lot of attention to detail. Nicely done!

    I love this bed! The burl figure works very well, and the proportions are perfect. Great job!

    Very nice!! Can't figure out what's going on in picture 4. Are these spacers or reinforcement on the rails?

    used these to add something to the rail instead of just a straight board

    Great job, choice of wood and design are top notch. I like every aspect of it. Did you veneer the panel before raising it? If so did you get any tearout on the veneer?

    That is a real looker. Love the materials and the details.
