The finished bed and nightstand, finally!
And I conveniently finished by installing and painting the custom bypass doors that I made for the guest room where I am staying.
Time to take a nap so I can be ready to climb tomorrow. Bueller, Bueller?

I've been ramping up production and doing prototyping on this and some other ideas-but the answer is yes -I do sell them
I have an American longbow model that was my standard for a few years and the bow in the photo will be real close to the final design [initial tests were very successful!!]and this weekend the painters tape will come off and the final sanding/ finishing will done--i'll post pics when its nice and shiny!
here's one of the American longbow--

The leg arches were formed from 7 layers of 1/4" solid cherry so the grain follows the curve; sawing them out would leave a ton of short grain and these legs hold a tremendous amount of weight. I don't expect the 70 year old who bought it to put much "lateral stress" on the legs, but you never know...
The headboard has a gentle radius top to bottom. I used 4 layers of 1/4@ hardwood ply with cross banding and then face veneer of book matched curly cherry. The ply layers were glued up in the vacuum bag, trimmed to size then picture framed on the edges with 1/2" solid wood. The surface veneers were then laid in over the whole mess.

Client's program was very straightforward: "Make it warm and cozy, with plenty of stainless steel and plate glass..." My favorites, naturally, or I'd never have accepted the commission.
This property is on the market, now. Check with Sothby's...but if you have to ask...

I've been re-skinning a deck all week. Not much to brag about, but all I did for three years in Truckee was build decks. So, it's kind of fun and quaint to go back to doing that for a little bit.

I'm good with octagonal anything. Split the cost of a plane ticket, and I'll build you whatever you desire at a very reasonable rate.

I like this type of connector which leaves a nice "smooth" surface.

Time to outfit my new rig, Morrison.
I'm not much of a builder but I'm a decent McGyver.
Just want a simple bomber bed and storage for weekend runs up the mountain.
Leggs was a great helper. Chicks always look cool with tools.
