Did make the wood for the bed?
 
I am considering making my wood, any help with this or the installation will help. I got some pretty good info from GMC Pauls web site on the dimensions for cutting the wood etc. Man that looks fantastic, I love the color.

I used red oak for the bed from my local lumber hard. Very good quality although it was a pain to cut, plain, sand and varnish, cut holes etc.... the wood cost close to 250. I had to install it and then drill the holes and then after it was painted it was a pain to line up the holes and some had to be re-drilled. I am very satisfied with the product but I wonder how easy the pre-cut packages would have been. They are heat treated and may last longer. The wod i bought was not totally dry and there are several small cracks that I may have to replace. I used a light oak stain, then used a marine varinsh with about 5 coats.

I saw your new paint pics a couple of days ago, and now I've talked myself into doing the same color on mine! Mine's currently bronze and white, and I was going to repaint it the original colors, but the orange is just too cool. :D

Careful, looking at that beautiful orange paint too long might burn your retinas! :D Thumbs up from me!
