This is a Murphy bed that was completed on January 26, 2008. It is called The Ross. This is a style that I build often, but this is the first sideways version. Here is an upright version that I posted on Lumberjocks called Ross Murphy Bed.
It is built in oak with 2 24” bookcases. Most of the time I keep the two sides symmetrical. This customer chose to have two different style bookcase.
Recently I changed the Ross design and moved the legs from in the middle of the doors to the outside edge. This gave the piece a cleaner look.

RJones,
The bottom molding is 5 1/4” crown cut down to 5” to square the top edge. I don’t have any pictures of it open. I need to remember to take those pictures. Here is a picture of another sideways version open.

I like it! Very cool the way it works sideways and gives you the bookcase as well. Excellent work.

Hi Chris,
This is very nice project. You have taken an ordinary bed and made it into a piece of furniture.
Thanks for sharing.

Chris,
I saw this pop up on the Home page and I guess I hadn’t seen it before. I really like the design of the side ways, rather than upright design. As usual, this is a great piece of work, but I’m sure you could make a camp cot look good. Thanks for posting your work.
