Oak beam bed

The next two beds needed to be low to the ground to fit in to a teepee.  I used locally grown oak.  The 6 inch beams were only half dried and weighed a ton.  Cracks and splits will increase over time adding even more character to this minimalist design.  Here are a few photos of the first one being made:



Chopping out the lap joint


 The head rests were epoxied in place with threaded steel rod surrounded by chrome steel tubing.
