After looking at new bed wood kits I decided to restore my old wood. A sander, sealer, stain, polyurethane and black enamel spray paint. 2 coats of stain, on the wood, and 7 coats of urethane. 4 coats of paint on the metal strips. Cost me less than $100 and some elbow grease.

Looking good. I had no choice but to buy new wood. I disassembled my original bed wood with my bare hands. I think the largest piece was about 2 ft long.

I was fortunate my wood, although old and worn, was still intact. I would have loved to put a new oak bed in, but my wallet just wouldn’t allow it. I think the old yellow pine turned out nice with the walnut stain.
