Default A bed promise fullfilled

I had promised the wife to make a bed for us. I finally completed it.
After years of following this newsgroup, thought I'd post the results of
the work. It's made from knotty rough sawn alder that I had on hand for
many years. It was my first large scale attempt at mortise and tenon. The
finish is done with 3 coats of blond shellac.

Lots of mortices there.

Did you rout them out and square them up with a chisel?


I see a router and I see chisels, but I don't see a mortise machine. That's a
lot of mortises to square up by hand!

Very nice work Mike!
