Took out the old bed wood, cut all new wood and finally got it all back together. First pic is the old bed.

That's really beautiful. All the hard work shows.

Cops053 · 10-27-2010, 07:08 PM

Thanks to you all, the wood is Ash and the inlays are Walnut

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-27-2010, 07:14 PM

Very nice! What did you use to cut for the inlays? A router?

Cops053 · 10-27-2010, 07:23 PM

Thanks, Yes a router, cut the pattern out on 1/4 luan, clamped it to the board and routed out for the inlay, squared it off with a chisel. then cut the bow tie out of the walnut, then slowly sanded it to fit into the inlay leaving it about 1/8 or so high and sanded it smooth, covered with 4 coats of spar urathane.

Looks great! I like the light ash color against the bed color. Really makes it pop!
