Chippendale Bed Project

I designed this bed to go with the chippendale bachelor chests and entertainment center.

This is a pic of the headboard while I was trial fitting the pediment molding.

The headboard is a substrate of 1/2" MDF with a veneer of Waterfall curly Sapele.

This shot shows how I achieved the post without using solid stock.

In the finishing room with the red mahogany stain and a few coats of lacquer you can really see the figure on the headboard.

Here's a view of the bed in our house.
Notice the matching Mahogany Bedside chests.

Here's another view of the bed.
I'll probably build a chest of drawers or two to complete the set.
