I just delivered this bed frame and headboard to my son and thought of sharing some pics with you. Let me first apologize for the mediocre flash pictures. The bed is made of black walnut with juniper and cedar live edge headboard inserts. All is finished with satin poly. My wife says the live edge pieces look like bacon strips. So, it is now known as the "bacon bed".

I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

Yes, a tie-dyed spread.  Orange middle, then yellow, then white.
