Queen size bed with relief carving and lighted tree relief headboard

The headboard is a hand drawn, cut with a hand jig saw, tree relief on 3/4” cabinet grade plywood, 1/4” plexiglass and a backing of 1/8” plywood sheet chosen for its pattern. At the bottom of the plexiglass is a ribbon light with 110 light combinations and a remote control. The footboard has a hand drawn picture of the tree of life, which has 2 of the 5 layers carved by chisel and mallet, because of the opposing glued layers and intricate cuts that create the relief. Then that portion was stained. Both head and foot boards are topped with a curved piece of pine and affixed with both inset screws which were plugged and glued. The side boards are made with 2”X6” lumber which has a bottom lip that forms an “L” to support the 1”X6” cross members. Because of the drawings, the carving and the painstaking jigsaw work, this project took a total of 720 hours. This one of a kind bed was made for my neighbor for the cost of materials
