Nice looking bed, John.

Looks good to me. Did you or your brother make the furniture also?

Looks good. I have a brother in law that wants a sleigh bed built. I am planning on using 1/8” baltic birch plywood as a core for the head/footboard panels and making my own 1/8” thick veneer to lay over the plywood, then bend it to shape. Hopefully it won’t crack on me.

Thanks for sharing.

Very nice sleigh bed. You did a good job.

A great looking bed. Not noticing that the back was not curves caused some problems, Huh. I’ve got a magazine that has pictures of one made with Brazilian Rosewood for the wife of an Ambassador to Brazil. He made his curved, but he used slats like a roll top desk if I remember.

John, nice job. I’ve wanted to make one of them one day. I love working with curves (maybe that’s because I can’t cut a straight line) lol.

Great looking bed John, You mean to say your not going to build one of those for each of your kids? :-)

We built all of the furniture in this room. Couldn’t get the other pictures to load.
A big No is the answer if the kids want one like this.
Pick out something else.
