Queen Hanging Bed

 I was contacted by a customer about building a hanging daybed, and they had some ideas for the design. After some discussion, they are building a new porch so I went out and measured. They wanted the biggest bed they could fit between the back wall and a fireplace that was going in. This is a seriously cool porch! Turns out a Queen was the right fit, so we got a design together and I got to work.

It all starts with a frame

Built up the sides and back, cut in the drink holder and wine slot before building out the rest

They wanted an X design

It's big!

Used Old Masters Espresso wipe-on stain

Installed! They absolutely loved it

This turned out beautiful! The X design was a really nice touch, the cupholders were nice, everything came out prime time.

Some Tables

 I made some tables for the mountain house, in addition to all of the shelves and other stuff for that place. These turned out pretty great, a cherry coffee table (we needed a specific size), plus maple and oak floating top side tables for the couch. I already had the oak table top leftover from another project, and found some cool maple for a table top from another project too.

I absolutely love the discoloration on this top. Such an interesting piece

Cool Maple Charcuterie Board

 I picked up some maple for shelves, and part of the leftover board had some really cool disfiguring and burl work going on, so I decided to make a serving board out of it. I think the shape is roughly like a tomahawk steak, and it's huge (around 28" x 14" wide) so this would be a great way to serve up some cool food. 

I've got a craigslist ad and facebook marketplace out right now, it's for sale for $100. Contact me (comment on the blog) if you want it.
