Thread: Queen bed frame question

Those brackets look the same as I used and so far (6years +) no problems. Bed has been moved and came apart easily with a tap from a rubber hammer.

Yes, this is the natural look of the timber, no resin was used, I finished it with some Tung oil. There are a few places around Melbourne that sell it, this came from Peninsula Recycled Timber not cheap, but great quality wood, dressed and de-nailed, they know a lot about wood and are very helpful.

Yeah, I like them more than the bed. Made from recycled wharf timber. They look great but you don't want to move them very often.

Nice one. Do you know the history of the timber for your bed just out of curiosity? You’ve done a wonderful job on it

They came out of a roof from a house in Rosebud. The had quite a few sticks, 150x45 various lengths. I picked through them and got a bunch that suited the look I was going for.

That is a fabulous looking bed!! and the bedside tables are a great match!!

Very well done indeed sire!!!
