Thanks for the comment, James. Yes, it really planed down nicely. I actually used this lumber for my 2nd chest of drawers, which I finished a couple months ago. I have a picture on my page of both chests I built, and this wood went in the one on the right. BTW, I saw that you are proficient at SketchUp - I tried to use that, but I guess I better go back and do the tutorials - I never could get things sized correctly.

Thanks for the comment. It does make one appreciate the skills and tools plus, I am still learning about how different one piece of lumber is from another - even when they are the same species. To me, part of the fun is selecting the wood for a project, and trying to imagine what I can cut from a board and how it will look. I still have a lot to learn about that process, but the place I get my lumber is very patient and lets me look through their stock for as long as I like! Do you have a picture up of the bed you built?
