Been working on blocking for paint over the summer. Also got the bed wood (Ash) and got it milled and did a trial fit to mark the holes I need to drill. The wood ate up my old Delta planner and I had to upgrade to a commercial grade Dewalt, which is ok because I do a lot of woodworking and furniture stuff too. Used the information on Mar-K and GMC Pauls site to dado in the notches. Bed strips are unpolished stainless from Mar-K, I started polishing them today. Probably just going to use linseed oil or tung oil on the wood for a lighter tone.
