"For the perfectionist: originally, bed wood planks were not sanded smooth and varnished. Trucks were for work and the idea of bed wood with a furniture quality appearance was out of the question." LOVE THAT - I talked to guy once at a show who used a wood called 'purple heart' and yeah, it was purple. He said he spent $3200 for the wood and cutting, and then another $600 in finishing it in laquer and marine varnish. "zippity effing do dah, 38 hundred on bed wood, super!" i thought in my pea brain... Pass the yellow pine and lamp black, please.
