Low Post Country Bed
This king size low post country style bed features many of the classical design elements of a traditional turned post bed. Some of these details include the turned cannon ball at the tops of the posts and the vase and urn shaped designs on the posts. From the ornate hand turned posts which are shaped on the lathe, to the wave cut scrolling headboard and foot boards, this bed features a great deal of hand craftsmanship. The bed is constructed from solid tiger maple in a very traditional manner with mortise and tenon joinery, bed bolts to connect the rails to the head board and footboard, and bed irons to support box spring. The bed is shown with the very heavy traditional frame rails around the perimeter. The headboard shown is done in a wave cut scroll work, typical of a country style. Other headboard and foot board designs are available with and without carvings. In addition a platform box spring support system was constructed from solid maple and supported with traditional iron bed hangers and steel angle supports. The use of another wood, such as walnut, cherry or mahogany would make a very beautiful piece as well. The bed size, style, wood selection, and coloring can be customized to suit the customer's requirements.
