Bed Post

A turning commission from another furniture maker for a set of bed posts to be used on a residential bed.

Turning the headboard posts. Long spindles present their own challenges. You can see the shop-made lathe extension mounted on the lathe in the image.

Turning the footboard posts. The bed will be hand painted so sanding is limited to 150 grit.

The components are turned to spec and ready for pickup and inspection by the builder. The full scale drawing was a pleasure to follow. Not always the case.

The finished bed tastefully hand painted. I don’t always get to see the finished product when I work for other builders.
