Default Queen size bed
First build that I built from my own design. Simple design, but a large project for my small garage shop. Used Red Oak

That looks great!! Of course, you could always leave the bed in there for those times that the lady of the house isn't pleased with you. But then where would you put the car?
Nice work and welcome to the forum.

I used mortise and tenon to fasten the panels to the post. That was the hardest part for me, because I have very little experience with that type of joinery.

I like how you put the sunshine burst at the foot to show off the grain detail. Good Job.
