I made this bed for my son on his 7th birthday. I used 4x4 posts. 1x6 for the top of the head board and foot board. Stained in red mahogany and coated with a clear gloss finish. This was my first major project and i am really happy with the results. I routered the edges of the tops with an ogee bit, routered the legs with a champhered bit and routeredb the front with a cove bit.
