Project Information
I'm fairly new on here and this would be my fist post, so hopefully the photos show up alright..
A girl I know wanted a special bed for her pup and asked if I'd be interested. I wasn't really into it at first thought, but I didn't have any projects pressing so I said I would make something for her. She said it was gonna be kept in her main living room and wanted it to match her furniture. So I went to see what she had , and it was all nice dark walnut pieces which I like a lot. And in a Victorian style. So I really couldn't find any "pet beds" on line or anywhere to get a few ideas. But I found plenty of human beds to reference a little. I don't have a lathe or carving tools ,so I couldn't get a full Victorian type style…but I wanted to treat have some curves in the headboard. So I made that happen. And this was my first attempt at steam bending for the moulding on top of the headboard.. that was fun, but I ended up having to Steam bend and laminate the walnut pieces to get the thickness I wanted.. anyways it came out pretty good. She requested a big drawer in the front for supplies or whatever, so she got one..she was very happy with the results and I had a good time making it…thanks for looking at the post . I get some good info from Lumberjacks and glad to be a part of it
