Darren has started on side boards , sanding and Routing .They are oak and will be stained . Bed itself will be going to painters on Tuesday , bottom has been powder coated , rest is primed. tony

This wood is under bed to even out and support bed. Herb had it that way and there was no sign of wear or movement . They will be painted black as frame and really not be very noticeable unless you know they are there. The bed itself is Diamond plate. The only other wood will be the side boards , like he had before with a little more bling !lol. Yep waiting to see tank completed ! Tony
