WOW! Very impressive. I'd also be happy with that bed.

Very nicely done. I love the contrast between the Bubinga and the Maple, and the joinery and finish look terrific.

Awesome John! You must be happy with the way the joinery turned out.
As for the design itself, I like it alot. The only thing I'd say is that the arch feels more "constrained" inside the frame than "contained," but maybe thats the look you were going for. I do like Ryan's modified footboard. It ties the head and footboads together well, continuing an overall pattern from top to bottom as you look at the bed from the front. I disagree with Ryan, however, on wood selection. I think the two species work very well together and that the figure adds to the overall piece.
Well done!

That bed is beautiful! I'd like to build something similar soon. I got busy at work today, so I didn't get a chance to call you. Maybe tomorrow.

Beautiful workmanship John! Are the slats poplar or a fancier wood? I was curious about the cost of materials--was the wood very expensive, or are there expensive hardware costs, (or both)? $1200 seems like a lot, but then again, I don't have much experience buying nice wood.
