Random stuff you have made

[Perplexed]

I made this king-sized bed frame out of walnut and maple, using various examples of the Craftsman style of design that was popular circa 1900-1910. It matches the nightstand and lamp that I made last year. There’s a strip of LED lights tucked into a groove I routed in the underside of the top cap, with strips of aluminum on the back side of the headboard for touch on/off control. It was a challenge from the concept through the CAD layout to the construction, and I did make some mistakes along the way, but all in all, I’m pleased with the results. My gf thinks I’m too hard on myself

Thank you! It was quite the project compared to the smaller ones I’ve done in the past. My boxer dog approves of it, but he’s easy to please

Are the off white panels cultured marble?

On the bed frame? No, it’s maple. The only material other than walnut in the frame.

I'm exhibiting more than a bit of awe. More of a wood butcher, myself.

Thanks. I’ve done so much of that myself that eventually I would hit the odds of something good

I put aside this hassock fan project, which was almost done, to do the time-sensitive bed frame project. Once the latter was done, I was able to finish this fan. The housing and diverter slats are cherry, the side panels are shedua, and the dyed epoxy insert is delineated by laser-cut walnut with a purple heartwood frame. There’s an LED strip inside the diverter cone on the underside of the top. It took five attempts to produce a satisfactory epoxy insert - my gf who did the laser work each time threatened to leave me I’m quite pleased with the results!

That is SO SPIFFY! Tell her it had to be done just right because you wanted her to get proper credit from the friends you told about her assistance on the project.
