This is a project I just completed. The client and I designed this through e-mails and a few sketches. The pictures are a story line from completed project backwards. Project is from butternut with walnut stain and poly finish. I even delivered it and set it up ,(in Tennessee) long drive to work.

Awesome bed. Very nice design and build. Obviously comes apart for transport, hope you didn’t sell it with free delivery.

I have been tossing around design ideas for our bed and I am close to being ready to start (other than choosing which type of lumber that is! leaning towards Sapele). I also can’t decide how to attach the rails to the head and footboard. How did you attach these?
Thanks!

I lucked up and found some really nice Butternut at a little lumber yard in Washington Maine.As far as the rail fasteners i used the 6” 2 piece bed rail brackets. I got mine from woodworkers supply ( 12.00) I just mortised them so that they drew up tight. I prefer tenons and bed bolts but the rails didn’t center on the columns so it would look funny
