Stained. I mixed three stains to come up with this color. It very close to the matching my seat. I like it.



To protect the wood I decided to use Total Boat Marine Gleam Varnish Gloss. I like it because you can do like 3 coats a day with an hour or 3 hours between
coats depending on the weather. I used a foam brush to apply it.



Looks really nice love the color. What kind of wood is it? Great work. Steve

Thanks. Its red oak. I wanted walnut, and the lumber yard scared me when they gave me the price. Lumber is expensive, I did not save much by doing my own bed wood but I like it.

Thanks for the information. I just have the stock pine that came with the truck. Still has to be stained and cleared. I am a long ways away from where you are at. Steve

Bam, you never cease to amaze me with your talent! Your bed wood is too pretty to be out in the weather.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Well I got some of the wood installed, but I have to stop here until I have some of my buddies come over to help install the bed on the truck. I have access to the bolts that mount it to the frame at this point.

Thanks. I also think it looks nice together. It took awhile to get that stain mixture just right.

The contrast of the wood ton and green looks great...Very soothing combination.
