I started this bed 3 days ago, but it is over a 100 degrees outside and to hot to work much past noon. I try to start early, but my neighbors don't like my saws going at 5am. lol. This bed uses 6x6 post, 4x4 side rails and foot rail. The top and bottom rails on the headboard are 2x4. The top rail on the headboard is inlayed to the headboard post and all the other rails have a 2" tendon holding them into the rails along with 90 degree corner braces under each rail. There is also 45 degree corner braces conecting the side rails to the head and footboard rails to add stability. I used 3 2x4's as cross beams to set the box spring and mattress on and added some braces under each cross beam along with toe nailes screws to hold them in place. I still have a lot of sanding to do and I have to stain it as well. I'll post pictures of the bed frame when it is all finished, but it might take a while, because of the heat...
Log Furniture is no doubt one of the classiest choice in home decor. I was quite confused what furniture to buy when I was about to get married and my wife chose Log Furniture and trust me I have never regretted having it in our home.
