The Ghost Bed

Nice. Looks real country-like. One thought, does it come apart ?
Good Job !

very nice job

This is a very nice job. What kind of finish did you put on it?

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Thanx everyone….
Dave: Yes it is designed to bolt the siderails to the posts with 5-6 inch lag screws from the opposing side of the posts with the heads countersunk and plugged with a 7/8” wood plug to hide the hardware.

Bryan: We used Cabot’s Australian Timber Oil which is a combination of Linseed Oil and Tung Oil. The Cabot’s darkened it up which is what we wanted in this particular application.

Very beautiful bed ! Your friend is going to love it no doubt! I can visualize a bed like this in a beautiful log cabin in the mountains :)

Thanx Dana….I am thinkin Montana :) This is going to a lakeside house on Lake Belton, Texas….My friend and I were kicking an idea around about woodburning a picture of Judge Roy Bean’s Saloon on the headboard? I do not have the woodburning skill for that but I thought you might and if your interested send me a quote and I will pass it by him.

really cool. Congrats on a job well done. Not too many beds like this for sale at the local furniture store

-- making sawdust....

That is one sturdy looking bed! I just love that rustic furniture.

That will work sawdust,.... I will need some measurements of the piece of wood that I would be working on and probably a picture of what to be woodburned so I can look at it. Let me know :)

-- Dana,Texas

I just saw the picture but still need the size in which they want the woodburning to be and if it would just be the building or what :) Get back with me and I will see if I believe it can be done. :)
