"A" for effort.

However, you have one glaring fault if I read this right. If you went to Home Depot and purchased this lumber there, its not properly dried and will twist/check/warp and possibly crack in the coming months. Pine is not the best choice for a frame, either. Next project, go to a place that sells hardwood and get some kiln dried poplar or maple for your project.

Thank you for the "heads up" about the wood. I certainly will keep my fingers crossed that my frame stays straight! Why would HD sell lumber that isn't properly dried?...(or is that a rhetorical question?) The next time I do any project like this I'll go to a local lumber distributor and purchase it. We only have one place that I know of in our area, and I probably should have done more homework.

I'm impressed. Well done!
