. . . .

I haven't seen a "wood bed pictures" thread recently.

There must be some more, recently finished wood beds, other then the one on my 70 C-10.
( red oak with two coats of dark walnut stain, followed by five coats of marine spar varnish )

Let's see some more . . .

Yes. I stripped, sanded, and re-stained the oak planks in my 8 foot bed last spring. Been hauling yard waste, engine parts, and canoes all summer. I did however lay down some protection when hauling over 1/2 ton of rocks.

Red oak and nothing goes into the bed without a moving blanket going down first.
