 This is a bed that was completed on 10-16-2007.  It was designed by a customer.  They liked our original boat bed, but wanted one that looked more like a pirate ship.  We came up with this design.  It has a flat black finish with Red Mahogany accents.  In the place of the trundle is a large toy box, with the simulated cannons.  The sides can be removed later on to use the trundle.  The plank doubles as a slide for those quick escapes.

This a Murphy bed that was completed on 10-31-2007.  It is our Excalibur style, which has become one of the more favorites.  It is built form Alder wood, which has also become very popular.  The flute molding on the sides are what make this a very attractive Murphy bed.  This fluted molding, allows the legs to be move off the middle of the door and in turn makes it look more natural. 

This is a Castle Loft bed that was finished on 10-10-2007.  For some reason I can't find my completed picture of this bed.  I'll post a completed picture below of one from the past.  This is a bed that I have built several times.  It is a regular loft bed with a few window cut-outs, a tower to get into the bed and a slide to get off.  Each time I build this bed I improve in some way.  This time around, I redesigned the slide to make it break down for shipping.  One of the past improvements was the cap for the tower.  The first one was a trial and error (a lot of errors) of cutting the compound angle.  I once had a bright idea of Styrofoam shaped sealed and lacquered. Did you know lacquer and Styrofoam don't mix?  I now know!  I finally found a chart on a web site that helped me out with cutting the compound angle.  I made a couple of jigs and now I can make the cap fairly quick with accuracy.
