Where did you get your bedwood?

Used both. I used the dado blade for the bed strip grooves and I used a router to notch out for the cross braces inderneath. The problem with tht composite deck board is that thay are about 1.5" thick. You can eather plane them to 3/4" or notch them. I simply laid them in the cross bars and marked the boards. Then I routed them to the correct thickness at those points. The stuff is a mixture of both reclaimed wood and recycled plastics. It works just like wood. Nice thing is, my bed looks good but I don't ever have to worry about rain, nor do I worry about putting things in the back of my TRUCK. The stuff will never rot either.
