Over to the router table and I used a bullnose bit to put a little detail onto one edge of each board, on the bottom side. Next I sanded all the boards with a random orbital sander, 80 grit and here is the result :
One more sanding session to 150, then I'll bring them upstairs to apply the finish. I'll probably put a nail or screw into the ends of each board and then support them between a couple of 2x4s in order to finish both sides at the same time.
I'm hoping to move her bunkbed into the house this weekend and I think I can do it. The last thing I have to do is to put together a safety rail, but I'm waiting on that until I get the mattress in place so I can make sure the rail is high enough.
Originally I was supposed to have the bunk bed done for Christmas, so I'm about 8 months behind. Lauren's okay with it though, and she's very excited about her new bunk bed.
