Breaking down the wood

A while ago I posted about purchasing wood and how I bought rough cut wood to build this bench.  Last week I began breaking down the wood for the bottom half of the bench.
I turned all of this 
into this
I started out with rough cut lumber so I had to cut the boards down to length then I had to edge and face join it then plane it to depth and cut to actual width.  These are the same processes that I used for the frame however with the bench there was a lot more wood so each of these took a lot longer.  It was also more important to keep all the pieces organized and labeled since there are so many of them and many of them are similar sizes as well.  Next I need to cut the dadoes into each piece.
