queen bed version 2
Project Information
this is my answer to the quiet time during this corona crisis.the bed you may recognize as the one i posted a couple years ago.got tired of book shelf head board and made a new one from cherry and ambrosia maple a wood ive come to love.the head board panels were made with 1/2 bb and resawn maple that was about 1/8 thick.made the night stands to hang on the wall with a french cleat.the tops are box elder i cut from a 8ft slab,the remaining will be made into a bench for the front of the bed.the drawers were recycled from the old stands done with box joints and ball bearing glides.the drawer on the left has a raised bottom to conceal my home security system,aka .38 special.finish is my go to maloof blend,the tops are 5 coats of poly for better durabilty.
french cleats to hang on the wall.

Nice, pottz. I’d like to build a bed sometime, so I'm glad to see projects I can scrutinize down the road when I get get going.
thanks kids but the consensus is, most prefer the first version. but i like the redo myself.

Nice work cutting that smooth radius on the top. The box joints look real good
thanks. radiuses are always fun,and use a lot of wood! i love the look of the box joint much more than dovetails.
