re: Early planning

I think I’m just going to mill some framing lumber into something – maybe 1" thick and start from there. Although there is some primed poplar 1×6s leftover on one of my job sites. I would prefer that if I can get my hands on it. I’m sure it’s finger jointed though and that could be a problem with constructing the legs or any other load bearing angular part. Maybe I should stick with the framing lumber. I’ll just paint it when it’s done.
