To Build a Bed

Over the next few months I am going to be building Sarah's Anniversary present. This is our 5 year, which, for all you gift givers out there, is the wood anniversary. I am going to be building a Mission style bed our of Western Maple. A few months ago I bought about 125 board feet of old growth wood from a local source. The guy uses a chainsaw to cut the logs into ~2" planks of varying width. Fortunately my father has a Mighty Mite type bandsaw sawmill. I was able to get the slabs to my dad and we milled almost all of the pieces up this last weekend. I will post a pictorial journey of building this bed hopefully it will be fun to watch and hopefully it will be good enough to show at the end.
