Built this out of Red oak for my wife for Xmas. Still fighting learning how to finish but it seems to be getting better.I looked for plans and found several that would work but ended up using what I liked out of three different plans. I liked the curved legs. but I dont have the skills yet for curved panels. the raised panel rails are cut at 5 degree angles to fit the curved legs. the rails and styls as well as the bed rail are all 4/4. I found a mill that had red oak planed to 4/4 for $2.00 BF all it needed was a little sanding couldnt breing my self to cut it down any further.

Seems like a fair trade.

It is looking good. $2/BF sounds like a pretty good price.
