Lacewood Mission Style Bed

Project by Roger Gaborski posted 280 days ago 657 views 5 times favorited 7 comments Add to Favorites Watch

This mission style queen size bed was constructed using Australian Lacewood and Maple. The plugs shown in the detail picture are made from Peruvian Walnut. This was a fun project and required a lot of planning to keep all the slats vertical and parallel. I also discovered I am allergic to lacewood. Contact with the dust resulted in a rash.

Gorgeous! I work a lot of lacewood and it will often cause a rash for me as well from fine sanding dust. I’ve learned to research the toxicity properties of any new exotic that I work.
