Custom Twin/Full Bunk


I don't build a lot of bunk beds This is because there are imports in similar styles out on the market. For this one I had a special request. This customer like the style but did not want screws and hardware showing on the end panels that attached the side rails. There was also a need for some drawers.
The drawers have a raised panel look and the ladder had to stop at the lower side rail to keep from interfering with the operation of the drawers.
This one was finished in October 2012 and we used maple wood, dyed and stained to match a cappuccino color.
More info on this and other projects can be found at WWBeds Custom Furniture.

Oak Boat Bed

This is a boat bed that we made slightly different then my standard version. Most of the time when I build them, I will have a solid color applied to it. This one needed to be a stained oak using oak wood. I’ve built similar ones before. Oak(example) maple (example). Most of the time switching from paint grade to a hardwood is just to use a different material, but on the boat was a little different. We had the Bow of the boat that had a curve in it. Normally I use a bending plywood and fill and paint it, but had to add an extra step to this on. Had to add an oak veneer. See blog on more details Oak Boat Bed

Angle Bedroom Suite


This is a bed that was built a long time ago. It is from the kids furniture site. I started with the storage bed headboard and designed everything else from there. The angle concept of the headboard was transferred to the chest and desk pedestal. If I remember correctly, the customer choose the chrome feet.

The wood is maple with a clear coat finish only.

This was a fun project. I wish I could do more like this.

Baseball Wall Unit


This may look like one of the many murphy beds that I build but it is not. It is a standard baseball bed with a wall unit. I took the headboard of the baseball bed and surrounded it with a couple bookcases and light bridge. It was completed in February 2011.

The bookcases are built just like the ones I use on the murphy bed with the full length door and a couple drawers at the bottom. If you ever wonder why the drawers of this style bookcase never start at the bottom, it has a cubby hole. It’s there so there is not interference with the lower hinge and drawers. I think it give a nice little effect. You need somewhere slightly out-of-site to store them dirty cleats.

It is built mainly from maple with some MDF. The finish is pigmented lacquers.

The lights are controlled by a touch dimmer at the top of the headboard.

Here are some of the true Murphy bed styles: Yankee's Special Edition, Vintage Style
