This is a pirate ship bed that was custom made for an Interior Designer. Their client for this bed is a PGA golfer. It is a full size and I built another one similar to this one back in 2007. 
This one the designer made some modifications. We added a mast with crows nest, steering wheel, anchors on the front. The headboard was modified by adding a railing around it and using more pine bead board.
The designer plans on adding a flag to the mast and giving it their special touch. Make sure you favorites and watch list because I’ll post pictures after the designer does their part and installs it.
It was completed in May 2010, and built mostly in April

One last note. This designer came to us after they had a similar bed ordered from another company and the bed was never delivered.

I didn’t say much about the plank/slide. It used some black laminate on the top surface.

Jamie, I’d use my train bed design as a starting point. How the side panels and the roof is made. Lay out the side on a large piece of cardboard to be able to see the proportions.
