Bed for my daughter

[Dale Lynch]

Made a bed for my daughter last summer.Never got around to posting it because I was not active on the forum and just plain lazy.Anyway, I used brown cedar,yellow pine,and mahogany (I think). The headboard was done in a belmont style using the 3 woods all doweled together. the outer frame is cedar and pine.I inlaid a couple of runners first and then inlaid pine medallions afterwords.Learned a few things along the way,like I should have used hardwood cause it creeks something fierce when its moved.Still together though.

Beautiful work Dale. That also would have been a good entry to the "Segmented Bed Contest."

Nice joinery for sure. You don't see much of that anymore and you used the word "Dowel" which I haven't heard used in a long time. Seems biscuits are the way to go now. Good job and a very nice piece of furniture. Your daughter should cherish this and pass it down to her kids.
