this is the grate for the head area, made from teak with no expense spared. The part that really poisoned me was the fact that half of it went into wood shavings. Haven't managed to find a dado bit that would cut one inch slots, so had to resort to a maul and a chisel. Nevermind, it keeps me on my toes. After my surgery I was banned from lifting anything heavier than five pounds, I told my wife this was just under weight and no more. Excellent physio to keep me occupied.
