Not certain if this is the right sub-forum to post but this is an updated picture of my bed floor. Several years ago we bought a bunch of rough cut cherry. I’ve planed it down got it to almost ready to put in.
Update**** Wood is straight. Photos make it appear crooked.

Very nice!! I guess we won’t be seeing you post on the “who uses their truck as a truck” thread. 🥴
Haha! No kidding.
Does anyone ever install pine and paint it black like the factory?
In judged shows, do restored trucks with stained oak and stainless steel dividers get points marked off?

I did. I used an oil based black stain that was recommended as deck stain that lasts well in Fairbanks. I have not installed the wood yet. Had some issues getting it to dry, but it's going to have plenty of time to do that over the winter.
