I made this king sized log bed for my mom.  I used Rockler's tenon maker.  The bed was made from a tree that fell down on the side of the road.  I cut it to length using my chainsaw, shaved the bark off using a draw knife, made the tenons and drilled the 2 inch holes with a forster bit.  The entire bed is made of West Virginia logs (head board, foot board, and side rails).

Cracks me up...anytime I'm woodworking he has to find him a piece of wood to chew on like he's working too. Same goes for when I'm crushing aluminum cans to recycle. He's got to get a can to chew up into pieces. He's a good dog.
