I am getting ready to start my wood bed. Who can I order a wood set that is predrilled and sills that are predriller?? What are wear strips and do I need them???

For the pre-routed and drilled bed wood- check out the links below. They come pre-routed, drilled and sanded. Wear Strips are the actual metal (either carbon steel or stainless steel) strips between each board that the bolts are actually bolted through to mount the wood to the cross-sills. So, yes, you do need them.
