I built this bed in 1996, and have been sleeping on a waterbed since the mid 1970's. Due to age, and other age related perks - getting in and out of bed has become more difficult. So we made the big switch to a "purple" mattress. Draining the mattress and getting it out of the frame is a big deal. Clearing a path for the new, and to remove the old made me realize that I don't think I ever photographed the bed I built 29 years ago. An opportunity. The seven foot columns are fluted Red Oak, Rosewood, Walnut, Quilted Maple, Lacewood, Padauk, Purple Heart, Zebra Wood, and Wenge are all part of it. None of it is stained, and it all is finished in about a dozen coats non-yellowing water based polyurethane so that the natural color of the wood can show.
