cherry bedroom set

This is a nice looking bedroom suite. The natural variation in cherry’s coloring adds visual interest to the pieces. Like you, I much prefer this to the monochromatic color of “store bought” pieces.

Well done!!

Beautiful!!! Gotta love that cherry. What finish did you use and how did you apply it?

Thanks, I wiped on 2 coats of linseed oil followed by 5 coats of wipe on gloss poly and one last coat of wipe on satin poly.

I just completed some bunk beds myself (pictures will follow in due time). I like the look of the upper bunk guard rails and ladder. How did you attach both of those? They look plenty sturdy but are they removable? Very nice job.

Great Bed looks wonderful

The upper bunk guard rails and ladder are attached with furniture bolts and threaded inserts that I purchased from Lee Valley. The furniture bolts go in thru the inside of the bed rails and sit in counterbored holes. They can be removed with an allen wrench.
