<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 7546972, member: 8363"]I had to work with my 1920s spool bed to fit it to a metal frame, so I added the right 2 X 6s to the metal frame and then attached the front and back pieces to the 2 X 6s using the original hardware. Find a workaround that doesn't affect the integrity of the old piece. Try using some Howard's restore a finish. I might be easier than painting and will preserve the look of the wood. Once you paint old wood, it destroys the antique value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
