Finshed up this solid Ash Queen sized bed frame took me about 2 months of off and on work to get it done. Design is my own but heavily inspired by the Thuma frame. This was my first large furniture piece and I'm really happy with how it came out. Not having a table saw definitely made this take probably twice as long. Made alot of mistakes but I think I did a fairly good job at hiding/covering up most of them.
Absolutely love the color of ash heartwood, especially in the piece I used for the headboard, saw this piece at the lumberyard and knew I had to figure out how to use it despite it being slightly too short and I had to redesign the mounting for it.
Rails are 6/4 and headboard is 4/4, Headboard is attached to the legs with 1/4-20 bolts and threaded inserts from the backside to make disassembly/transport easier. I reinforced the ends of the Rails with 2 3/8in birch dowels so the thin end bit doesn't crack or snap off. slats are SPF 1x4s from HD sanded to 120 and broke the corners with a plane to get rid of splinters. Finished with two coats of Osmo Polyx Raw matte. Legs are 6/4 boards laminated together with as much joinery as possible "built in" to reduce work down the road. The joints fit really tight and it feels really sturdy so far!
Far from perfect but for something that was definitely wayy outside of my experience level I'm super pleased with the result.
