New dog, new bed!

I can honestly say that is the nicest dog cage I have ever seen. Love how it doubles as a misson-style nightstand. Good work.

You could have shown more of Sophie than just her tail. Nice crate anyway.

I guess this means the dog doesn’t sleep on your bed, or are you in the dog house.

A very nice job.

Now that’s a Dog House. Nice job.

Nice Job But Where Is The Dog

Good looking crate and it looks a lot “warmer” than those metal or plastic crates.
I could see that idea being used as a dual purpose pieced of bedroom furniture. A lamp table by the human’s bed and dog bed in the crate; especially for smaller dog like my Welch Corgi. Having owned and trained many dogs I know they are a lot happier if they can sleep in the same room with their owner and a comfortable crate also becomes their place of sanctuary or retreat in times of stress. I’m going to mull that idea over for my own use. If I mention the idea to my dog owning friends I will probably start getting requests to build them (-;

I think some one is going to get pampered to death. I agree with Jim you have to include a picture of the “owner” of this estate.

Ok, but I can’t figure out a way to edit my posting of the piece! (If I could, I’d delete a photo, then add a picture of Sophie. Can any of you tell me how to do that?)
Les, your Welch Corgi would probably need a much smaller piece than this one. I had nothing to go on, and the piece wound up at 34 1/2” by 24 1/4” by 24 1/2” tall, rather large for such a small dog! For a Welch, I would suggest scaling it down a bit.
Glad you all like it—Sophie does!

That is a great idea. The wife wants a second crate for our dog so she doesn’t have to lug one from the bedroom out to the livingroom. I might have to make one now. I think it will have to be Cherry as that is what we are changing all of our livingroom to. Sounds like a summer project to me. Thanks for the idea.

-- Sure Dear, I can make that for you. Lemme just run out and get a tool I need for that.

Welcome to LumberJocks Sophie.

Thanks for the addition of the happy user.

Absolutely outstanding. I’ve done some dog beds, but I’ve put off building a new crate until I can get my workshop better organized. We have 8 dogs, so I have to be ready to mass produce them. I can only imagine the howling if I give one dog a beautiful crate, but leave the rest of the pack in the lurch!!

Wonderful job!

Fantastic job. I love it.
