Project Information
Frame is beech, the headboard art is cherry, and the slats are ash.
The bed is assembeled using Festool's hardware and dry 12mm dominos, and of course comes apart.
One design parameter was to make it bomb-proof, as our 15 year old autistic son loves to use our bed as his trampoline. Each of the two legs weights 32kg. I didn't weight the headboard, but it is definately heavier than that. And the sides are not light either!
I am very happy how it turned out; the floating effect works as I had hoped for, and the idea for the headboard too.
The side tables are same cherry as the "art" in the headboard, so it might turn to similar dark as it gets some sun. The finish is colorless Osmo oil wax (as always for me).
