Replacing my Bed Wood
“Down into the Rabbit Hole”
I’m finally in a place that I can finally start finishing my truck. I’ve been collecting all the pieces needed for what seems like FOR EVER. A few years ago, I purchased Dimensional Southern Yellow Pine boards for a local Mill, and using schematic diagram from GMC Paul, I cut and routed the grooves myself. (I have all the woodworking tools required for the task) Then I mixed up my own stain color, to match the wood grain inside the cab. Not wanting to go the Urethane Finish route, I applied two heavy coats of Boiled Linseed Oil as a finish. Prior to putting the BLO on, I put the boards out in the sun, so that the oil would penetrate better. Today I laid it all in the bed to mock fit it, and took this picture. I’ll take more as I go. I’m all ears for any tips or techniques that I need to use while changing out the wood. Thanks in advance |
