Kingsize Bed---Cedar---

[Gary Max]

Finally got this finished today---so now I can make pens for the rest of the year. We have already stopped taking orders for Christmas because we still have three shows to do.
Anyhow---I just spent the last two weeks building this Knigsize bed for some folks up in Michigan. They should be here Thanksgiving weekend to pick it up.
Hope you enjoy the pics

Nice bed! That thing looks really solid - how much does it weigh?

 

[alamocdc]

Holy sleepers, Batman, that's one BIG bed! Looks nice and heavy, Gary.

[ed4copies]

Really nice, Gary,

Planning on taking that to the shows to sell a few more, aren't you???[][][]

 

[TBone]

I'm glad you're moving it and not me [8D]

 

[Tangboy5000]

With the finish, can you still smell the cedar?

 

[Ligget]

WOW![:0] That is fantastic, great work!![]

Gary, I don't remember seeing a "cherry picker" in your shop, how do you move it? [xx(] Good looking bed Gary.

 

[Gary Max]

The bed is in four sections. The wife and I can move it---not real fast but we geter done.
I had a Queen size bed with me at a outdoor show and just left it setting on my flatbed trailer.
The wife uses a outdoor poly for the finish this bed will have about a dozen coats on it.
Paul thanks for the offer but I just bought a new used vise--it's not as heavy as the bed but it wieghs 50lbs--LOL

[Glenn McCullough]

Nice bed, Gary. I am a manager of a retail furniture store...in MIchigan.. and I can attest that it looks incredibly strong, OH! and beautiful too!
Did you save some of the cedar for some pens or bottlestopers?

 

[TellicoTurning]

Gary,
that bed looks bigger than my bedroom.. literally... wall to wall bed.

Nice tho.

 

[Gary Max]

Glenn I have tons of Cedar on hand all the time. Cedar pens where my best selling pens the first year I sold them.
That bed would not fit in my bedroom either. I only make a couple of beds per year. Everyone is a orginal.[]

GRANDEUR! DECADENT GRANDEUR! Do you deliver and setup? [8D]

 

[Gary Max]

Thanks Lou----No we do not deliver.
You would not believe how far folks will drive to get a piece of furniture that is custom built ----one of a kind.
The funny is I can make a lot more money making pens---LOL
