Working on mahogany 4 post bed. All work by hand. Will have 4 - 7ft barley twist posts.
Built a larger spring pole lathe to work the posts. Moving into the fun part. Will post a few as it comes together.

Though I already made my daughter a pair of beds for her room, the LOML is now wanting something different (imagine that!).
A day bed, or trundle bed, is on the wish list. This is a bed with two mattresses, one being tucked up under the main one.
Anyway... I'm looking for designs, plans...
Headboards are small 3 drawer dressers which are designed to be removed and used separately once the girls outgrow the bed. Simply lift them out and install the mattress extensions, then reverse the beds and the footboard becomes the headboard.
