Now you can buy these very reasonably from humongous factories in Quebec for about what I pay for a bed's worth of wood. They are all very well, but not the same.

This queen bed is shown with original or high footboard. I also make them with mattress height footboards (see Mission Slat…), or a low foot rail (see Steeple…). I customise the height to mattress height and preference. Comes with cross slats and a central support foot for mattress warranty.

This bed has walnut legs and curly cherry cross rails. Don't ask where I found 12/4 walnut in this day and age. We went with a "steeple" headboard to echo the pointed ceiling.

I like making beds, because people get very attached to them, and this bedroom suite is particularly fondly remembered.

I developed the "New Shaker" line with it's slim tapered legs in part too accompany the pencil post. The top "testers" are available if needed.

I have made many pencils of different heights over the years, from 3' foot and 5' head right up to the 90" shown. They are somewhat higher off the ground than other beds, I like the clean simplicity of them. I do an octagonal taper, and have several headboard styles.
