I built this bed for my daughter for xmas two yrs ago. It is all pine and couple coats of satin poly.It was a fun project and wish I could make more of the darn things. It was fairly simple just straight forward woodworking.

I like it! The posts remind me of the Washington Memorial in D.C.

I really like the look of the pine. You said it was built a couple of years ago – how well has the pine held up to the daily use? I used to be a pine snob, but I’ve seen some projects recently posted that have changed my mine – my only concern about it is durability for projects that get a lot of use.

An attractive bed, simple and to the point. The posts add just the right amount of flair.

This is a very nice bed. I am sure that your daughter appreciates the effort and time that went into it. This is a family heirloom that can be passed on. I agree that most of us tend to sell pine short and focus more on hardwoods when it comes to our woodworking endeavors. Pine has a lot of nice qualities and, from the 2×4 entries, a limitless list possibilities.

Had one comment about the condition of the pine Has no splitting o r shrinkage as of yet. I do enjoy pine it is easy on tools and various ways to finish the project is always a challenge. I choose the naturallook on account the walls are lite
