Now this will not win any prizes nor a spot on the UKs top Woodworker and it took me longer than some around here can build a dresser
But it is done and the customer is happy.
the bed at 2'6"
the bed an 3' now with sprung beech bed slats.
the headboard is just laminated pine board from one of the sheds. It is a little less high than the original hence the flat top
colour matching was fun. I gave up on hard wax oil as I could not get any here within budget. Incredibly I ended up with Colron Georgian Medium Wood Dye and a 3 coats of medium oak poly varnish with wood wax on top.
And we managed to get a mattress with my daughters name on it.
