Pedder: Guten Tag! Great to hear from you.
The dowels: this bed uses slats of maple that are 7/8" thick by 6" wide that span the width of the bed frame to support the mattress. Holes in the ends of each slat register on the dowels: it keeps the slats in position but allows for easy disassembly when the bed has to be moved. Not my concept: its how another bed in our home is constructed: seems to work very well.
Got the first coat of finish on today: coincidently a product made in Germany: OSMO PolyX Hard Wax Oil: very nice product, although quite expensive over here. Two more coats and its on to the footboard.
