Fantastic project Andy.

Looking forward to seeing the finished bed. Stuff like this is worth a small fortune to the right people. Your daughter will certainly love it, yet she might not appreciate for years to come

Ok, I'll follow that then.  

 

A Contrasting coloured wood sounds like a great idea. Greenheart would be great but I have no way of turning it down into Dowels. 

 

i can turn you some contrasting dowels if you want.

 

i'd stick to oak thought.

 

 

at 15% you will be fine just to give a coat of oil but it will shrink a bit once in a heated environment.

 

 

as a joiner myself i know quality when i see it mate. well done.

The oak will not be the same if oiled at 15% Never get the best out of that grain on andys bed if treated now

not sure what you mean exactly? how would it look poorer?

i've oiled kiln dry stock and air dry and it looks good either way in my book.
