This custom queen size bed was designed and made for my Boston client who also commissioned the Spalted Maple Desk.

The removable nightstands slide into grooves in the headboard and are secured with a wedge as shown in attached video (below). A cutout/slot at the back edge of the nightstand, against the headboard, allows for wires to pass down through. Butterfly joints secure the checks at the butt end (left side) of the slab headboard adding still more interest and character to the handsome 1 1/2″ thick piece of wood . The base and rails of the bed are maple tinted to match the darker tones or heartwood of the slab headboard.

The whole piece can be knocked down into individual parts; this was essential for its installation in a room up a narrow stairway in the Boston brownstone where it now cohabitates nicely with the Spalted Maple Desk which was made from wood of the same tree, harvested here in Maine.

The bed could be re-created in other woods and sizes. Please contact me to discuss.
