My first bed build. Myrtle was provided by the person I built the bed for, most of which had character, borer holes, all the rest that she liked (also did the shelving unit above the bed for her)
Mixed construction. The outer frame has 10mm dominos for alignment and the corners are braced with the maxilock bed brackets from bunnings. Sanded to 150 grit, All finished with Livos oil. Rolled on first light coat, no wiping off excess as the coat is evenly applied and extremely light. After 48 hrs, lightly sanded back with high grit abrasive pad and then applied a buff coat, wiping off excess. This is how I apply osmo, too. I find it to be a more durable finish as there is a slightly thicker amount on the surface.
The headboard is attached with lamello clamex connectors. There is some reinforcement in the inner side that can't be seen in the photos. The headboard itself is resawn veneer onto some lightweight poplar plywood substrate from bunnings. Techniglue to bond. The sub frame was made mostly from Euro beech I had lying around then some tas oak for the bed slats. It's got some weight to it but easy to disassemble if needed. The builders put the power points in the wrong spot so that will get sorted in the near future.
As always, accompanied by my lackluster photos. The light messed with the panorama photo I attempted. I'm doing more work at her place so will take some better photos when i've finished up everything. Pretty happy with how this turned out. The idea is that it should look like it's floating. You can sit on any edge of the bed without it tipping up. When you come up the stairs to the bedroom you get a glimpse of the beech 'feet' underneath which I like, too.
