My second woodworking project.  The first was a table that I will post separately.  Photos are taken in a shop where I rent space.  I still need to lop off the legs from the metal bed rails that you can see poking under the sideboards.

Box springs will set into the level of the sideboards, mattress ends up level with footboard.  Bed is queen size.

Generally happy with results, joinery could have been a bit tighter in spots.  Frame and panel for the headboard.  Inlayed the cherry into the sideboards.  Everywhere you see a meeting of walnut with cherry, I have bevelled the joint at 60 degrees.  Having all of the angles was a bit challenging.

Finish is linseed oil with paste wax.  I tested tung oil and frankly liked the look of the linseed oil better.

Next project is a coffee table/ottoman, hope to post in 3 months or so.  Thanks for any comments.
