My husband took oak from my grandma's farm from rough cut lumber to the finished product. We started with Crab and Fish's modification of the Hailey Platform Bed plan for a king sized bed, then modified the plan further to meet our needs. Our bedframe splits in half for moveability. We designed the headboard. I think our bed turned out amazing!
