Submitted by rebarn14 on Fri, 10/03/2014 - 07:24

First project from dad tearing down his barn. Used ana's plans for queen bed and added to fit king dimensions. Husband also requested a tall bed so I added 6 inches to her measurements.

Estimated Cost
$80 bc I used reclaimed wood. Most of that is screws and plywood
Estimated Time Investment
Weekend Project (10-20 Hours)
Finish Used
Stained with a mix of dark oak and black. Many coats of polyurethane bc it soaked in to the old wood
Recommended Skill Level
Beginner
