See the new wood...the new wood is the total of 18" difference between a Queen and a King.... |
 |
we opened up farther, and here you can see the large gap at the bottom of the truss 'butt-joint'.....to the right of the opening....we then cut farther... |
 |
we extended it by notching 2" off the original, to use the full 11" off the 2" x 12" pine... |
 |
we spliced the top rail and overlapped for extra strength. And knowing that the whole thing had to match a 'distressed' furniture set made it a lot easier to forgive the 'rough framing'...we added this top cleat to give the overlap then rounded with the sander and scratched it with hammers and scrapers... |
 |
and shot the first coat of stain...... |
 |
and 'put it to bed' after we were done blending the stains in... |
 |
good nite...all in one Day! |
