Mission bedroom furniture

[Christian Hawkshaw]

Finally finished up our bedroom furniture. It is mission-ish as there is not through joinery or exposed pins. My wife is not crazy about those aspects of mission furniture, so I left them out of the design.

Holy cow, Chris, those are stunning. Gorgeous wood, nice clean workmanship, and a great finish. The internals of the bed certainly are beefy. Well done.

[Bill Carey]

Christian you really did that fantastic QSWO proud - excellent work of a large undertaking. Very nice.

[Christian Hawkshaw]

Thanks everyone for the complements.

[David Utterback]

Looks great and also looks like a ton of work (pleasure). Thanks for sharing!

[Mark Hennebury]

Big project! Nice work, crisp and clean, looks great.

[Kris Cook]

Nicely Done.

Glad my wife doesn't belong to this forum...

[Todd Zucker]

Really nice. I especially like the drawer and drawer pull layout on the dresser.

[Christian Hawkshaw]

Thanks all for the compliments. It was quite a bit of work for this set and spanned over 17 months. I built the furniture in three phases. Phase one being the dresser, phase two being the tall chest and nightstands, and phase three the bed.

I like the drawer configuration as well, however, I “borrowed” it from a couple of Stickley Furniture designs:

That’s a major accomplishment and well executed … I hope you got a new shop toy for each piece! :D

[Brian Tymchak]

Fantastic job Christian! The mission bedroom suite is on my to do list. What finish schedule dfid you use?

[michael langman]

Really, Really Nice Christian. You did a fantastic job on every piece.

[Charlie Jones]

Wonderful work. The results are amazing.

[Christian Hawkshaw]

Thanks for the compliments everyone....

I used the schedule outlined by Jeff Jewitt in the below article. The specific color formula used was “Centennial”. The only difference is I used Zar poly with matte sheen instead of Arm-R-Seal.

Who’d of thought that not having through joinery or exposed pins on mission furniture would work. Beautiful set.

[Brian Tymchak]

Christian, followup question. Love those pulls on the dresser and night stands. What was your source?

Thanks!

[glenn bradley]

Wait. How did I miss this the first time around!?! Nicely done sir. It must be really satisfying to have the whole set. Wonderfully matched. Clean lines. I don't miss the spindles at all.
