This bed was originally commissioned by good friends of mine to complement a piece I had built for them earlier. It features concealed hardware, and pegged, floating, and socketed mortise-and-tenon joinery. (Which is to say, it is built to last a very, very long time.) The idea for this piece was to make something that was calm and quiet, something to come home to after a long and stressful day.

Dimensions: 84″ x 64″ (Queen Size) x 39″
Materials: Cherry with Texas Ebony Accents, Poplar
Finish: Tung Oil, Wax

With the last coat of finish dry and the last little peg installed, all that remains is to photograph the bed…

Here at Kellogg Photo Studios, we take pride in using only the latest and greatest in photographic innovations. For example, a large sheet of paper taped to the front door of the shop.

After shooting everything, the bed is taken apart, buffed with one last thin coat of wax, and carefully wrapped up for delivery.

All told, this project required a little over 150 hours to complete. (153 to be exact.) Now for a quick Shiner, and then it’s on to the next project…
