Mesquite Bed Frame with G&G details
This is a recently completed Queen sized bed frame. Mesquite with Black Walnut pegs and splines.
Details - The headboard/footboard frames are based on the Fine Woodworking plan. We designed the panel/spindle configuration to suite our tastes. The footboard was modified to sit lower than the top of the matress. Mortise and loose tennon joinery with the bigger joints pinned from the back side. The finish remains easy peasy for Mesquite - 2 brush coats of Danish Oil (natural) and 2 sprayed coats of Shellac (blonde/clear).
Happy to answer any questions. Thanks Craftisians...

Thanks Pottz. I'm in the opposite position. I've got a whole house of furniture to build. Fortunately, the wife also likes the G&G look as long as I use Mesquite! Thanks again...
Jim J. - Thanks for the kind comment. This was my first bed build. We're happy with the way it turned out...
Splinter - Yeah, lots of bookmatching on this one. I even bookmatched the veneers for the side rails. Unfortunately, you can't really see them with the bed quilt in place! Thanks for taking a look at my project...

Gorgeous! Love the design. Looks perfect in the room with the other furniture.
Very nice bed, great looking both in wood selection and build. I like the corner splines on both headboard & footboard.
Very nice work Tim.
It’s a good one Tim. Where did you get all the mesquite?
I’d be so proud of it I’d have trouble sleeping in it for the 1st few nights.🥱

BB1- Thanks. Yeah, the various pieces (9 total) all look very nice together. I'll post more over time. Thanks again...
Oldtool - The splines that wrap around each of the corners do add a nice touch, I wish I could take credit for the idea. This plan is based on the bedframe in the Gamble House master bedroom.
Gary G - Thanks for the kind comment.
James McIntyre - We're right in the middle of Mesquite country down here in Tucson. I've got a couple of good sources for the lumber. Yes, the wife and I are happy with the results. Thanks so much for the kind words...
987Ron - Thank you. Yup, we're kind of addicted to the style. I'm just glad the wife likes it too! Thanks again...

Beautiful. An heirloom piece for sure…love the G&G design…
Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".
Nice build Tim. Mesquite is one of my favorite woods.
