Modern Waterbed 4 Poster

This is not your standard Waterbed.  Most waterbeds are dated with the 70's look. This one took a modern spin.  Well use of mixture of woods.  Oak was used for the main part with Walnut used as accents.


This was built in February 2014 but the guys at WWBeds Custom Furniture.

Craftsman Corner Desk

This is an Craftsman style corner desk, designed and built with a murphy bed (see LJ Post). As with the bed, the customer designed it and drove in from Natchitoches, LA to finalize everything

This is a platform bed that was completed in October 2009. It has a 15 ¾”h drawer unit for storage, a panel headboard, and a small frame for the platform. The finish on it is a simple Danish Oil to keep that natural look.

Here is the raw footage of the build (sorry about video quality still using backup computer):

Panel Poster Bed

This is a bedroom set that I completed in June 2005. It was built in oak and featured raised panels on the head and footboard. One thing that I did different was to turn the center panel horizontal. Normally I outsource the panel work, but on this one I built it myself, mainly because of the sideways panel. I didn’t want to confuse my supplier. This change in the panel gave it a little different look to it. The headboard also featured some hand forged ironwork.

The case goods are a combination of a face frame look but built like they are frameless. The sides look like a 2” face frame, but I made it appear to be 2” thick. I sandwiched two ¾” boards and a ½” thick inside frame together to make a frameless 2” thick side panel. I also added rope molding and hand built the base molding in layers.

Here are some pictures of the case goods:

Mission Style Wall Bed

This is a mission style Murphy wall bed that was completed on October 18th. The customer requested only one bookcase to accompany bed. It is one of my favorite Murphy beds but not to build. There are many parts that make up the face compared to some of the others that I build.

The wood is Red Oak with a Red Oak stain from Minwax. I then clear coat it with 2 coats of pre-catalyzed lacquer by Sherwin Williams.

The mission style crown I make myself and is set at a 45 degree angle. I start with 3 ½” wide board and cut the two back angles. I don’t take it down to a point. I leave a little material to ride against the fence on the subsequent cuts, since I have a right tilt table saw. After both back angles are cut, I flip the board over, adjust the fence and cut the face side slightly. This gives the crown another shadow line so that it looks like it is no just a flat board up there. Since they are cut at 45, they will be 90 degrees to the backs and therefore to the piece when it is mounted. I thought I’d share that with you. Hope you find it useful. I also used the same mission crown on the feet of Chandlers Table.
