A friend stopped by to shoot some sh@t and show a friend of his my project yesterday and as talk turned the question of what I planned to do with the bed came up. My buddy mentioned he had just come across some clear old growth Doug Fir I might be interested in so we piled in the rig and headed out to take a peek.
Raw Bed Wood 1 Bed Wood Supplier Now for a little better context this photo shows my friend standing by the top half of this log in the background. He's 6'2" or there about and the piece he is standing by is the bottom half of the log after the tide came in and rolled it onto the split.
Standing by 1/2 a log Turns out this thing fresh out of the river is already 12% moisture content. I think by the time I get around to turning it into my bed planks I should have some decent straight grain boards.
I know its not the yellow pine that came in these trucks but it is made in America and it should meet both durability and beauty requirements.
What do you guys think?
Use it or cut it up for firewood?
