My son loves to color so we decided to make him a bed that looked like crayons
The headboard is mounted on the wall with a french cleat
The footboard is mounted to the metal bed frame with carriage bolts
The entire project is made of shiplap board which gives it the drooves in between each "crayon"
Hardest part was getting the crayon tip risht and transferring it to each board
Longest part was taping, painting, waiting, paiting, removing tape, retaping ....... and continue
We used behr bright white paint and then paint samples for the colored parts and finished it with general finishes satin top coat
Turned out better than expected especially since this is only my second woodworking project ever and my son loveeesss it !!!
