Hi Phil, I ended up using southern yellow pine, which is pretty hard for a "soft wood". I originally wanted to use white oak, but could only find it in widths up to 8" , which would have been fine for the middle boards but was concerned about laminating for the wider outside boards which support the weight of the bedsides. I'm happy with the choice of SYP, it has a nice grain when finished. The inside boards were 5 1/8. The outside ended up being 10 1/8 and required several trial fittings and tweaking till I was satisfied with the results. The metal strips and mounting hardware all came from Mar-K.....Any snow yet in the Great State O'.........
