Reclaimed wood bed




Introducing The Night Owl platform bed. Made from reclaimed Douglas Fir.

Here is a first picture of the reclaimed wood bed, fresh out of the shop. The platform bed is low to the ground. Only a top mattress is required. Since we will make these beds by hand, you can have your bed made for any mattress size. Made mostly from recycled Douglas Fir.

A nice feature of this bed is the 11 inch wide back board. While laying propped up on your cushions, you will be able to reach behind, and grab "stuff" off the shelf. Hey, you might even forgo the matching nightstands.

The height of this bed was designed for a 12 inch mattress, so you can also sit on your bed (that's how i tie my shoes in the morning).

The wood was finished with Osmo Polyx Oil, a hard drying eco-friendly low VOC wood finish.

Chainsaw Furniture



It's not the carpenter's hammer, it's the carpenter who builds the furniture - old saw by a wise furniture maker. Tony Schlosser who built this table with his chainsaw from found wood proves this saying again. The table pictured here could be a cocktail taAdd Imageble, or a wide bench. The top is over 3 inches thick.
