Cherry Bed

Beautiful!!! Cherry is my favorite wood because of the complexity and depth of the grain. Did you have a set of plans or design it yourself? I want to make a one for the spare room bed but I’m not sure where to find long, wide 6/4 cherry that would be needed.

What a beautiful bed! No need to wrap it, I’ll take it just as it is!

That is really nice work. I have never thought of using choke cherry for anything (other than firewood). It really is a beautiful wood and so nice that it came from your parent’s property. Very well done.

How cool, to go from standing tree to a finished project! Great job

Great design. Well executed. It amazes me how many steps are involved from rough milled lumber to finished product.
Great project!

Classic designs are timeless for a reason. You did a very nice job with this bed!

I think it is super cool that you know the history of the wood that made this bed and that you brought from the log to the finished product. It adds some excellant provenance to it!

I love it! Thanks for sharing!

Great design, I love the simplicity of it. I made my bed frame a few years ago and the joy you feel after you see your hard work completed is without equal. Fantastic craftmanship!

That is absolutely beautiful! I am working on a similar project, and using the same finishes as well.
I have never tried the General Finishes brand, so I thought I’d use the Arm-R-Seal, and poly as well.
Super job,

I built a set of cherry night stands about a year and a half ago and need to make the bed next but can not find a set of plans for a king size bed where did you get the plans? Or did you do them your self. Great bed.
