The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Making a Stovebolt Bed Tackling the bed wood

The pine in my area is a softer wood so non existent ,I went with the rough cut oak as it was the cheapest decent choice .The oak comes 1 inch thick but the top and bottom were planed and the only problem was because it was rough cut you had to buy the boards they had so to get the width I had to choose a few boards that were 10 ft long but for 300;Canadian Dollars I think it was okay
