Wood Bed Restoration

Hey all, i just thought i'd post some pics of my "current" restoration. The factory wood bed is getting its long overdue turn. I haven't said anything about this, so heres the story. For my selection of wood i chose white oak. I bought i think it was 8 boards and with a little help from my uncle, got the wood planed, grooves cut and sanded down to a smooth finish. I also decided not to stain the wood. I like the natural look of it. However, the urethane im using did tint it a little bit. I am using System Three's Marine Grade Urethane. I put on 1 coat on the underside and 3 for the topside. For the rest of the underside and inner walls and wheel wells im using Herculiner (great stuff but tricky to work with). My project has come to a hault till next week since my uncle has left for skiing so im getting anxious to finish it up. Anyway here are a few pics of the wood. Im sure there will be plenty more to follow!

Here is a board just to show the beauty:
