Default Thinking of two projects/dreams

2. A new bed
Perhaps a nice redwood or fir, not certain which.
Difficulty level: 6


Just to address this small part of your speculative project, don't use
either one of these woods. Too soft (although some fir can be fairly
dense and strong). Mahogany, the choice of most camera makers, is really
no heavier but is much stronger and harder. Also readily available
everywhere, and better-looking too.
