When it comes to large furniture projects like this, lacquer works pretty well.

Nice work on this bed!

Oustanding results, I’d never imagined the humble origins of the materials. You do a great job.

I like the fluting. This came out quite nice!

Love color and the fact it is reclaimed.Well done.

Very well done. I like the recycling efforts I see around here.

Thanks everyone for looking and the nice comments. I enjoy woodworking and especially with old used wood that looks more like it should be burned than used for a furniture project. It takes more time to get all the nails out and prep the old wood ofcourse, but it’s worth it when you see the final results.

You don’t often see oak colored richly like this KJ, I’ve hated working with oak for years because of all the bland examples out there. Your dark rich finish is making me rethink all that old oak I have in the shop! Very nice thanks for the look!

Kirk,

This is a very nice project. It is just unbelivable that this was made in large part with recycled material. You are a talented woodworker to produce a project that is as gorgeous as this.

Thanks for the post.

I’m blown away, to think it is all reclaimed wood !
I will now eye every pallet wondering what can be made out of it….
