The raised panels showcase the beautiful grain while the slats supporting the box spring are dovetailed to the side rails providing for years of trouble free use. This heirloom bed will be passed along for many generations.
The Night Stands have a drawer containing hand cut, half blind dovetail joinery, hand turned Walnut knobs, a mortice and tenon door below that covers an adjustable shelf.
The Lamp accents are hand turned from a solid log of Texas Mesquite, filling in the natural cracks and voids in the wood with an epoxy resin accentuates the natural wood grain, we finish off the lamps with solid brass socket hardware.
