Mission Style Queen Bed

Mission furniture is my favorite style:  the simplicity of horizontal and vertical arrangements makes it very beautiful and unique for this style.

This mission bed features the  combination of the empire mission with the traditional mission. It took me 20 days to finish. Around 100 board feet of oak wood were used for this bed. I put inlays on both headboard and footboard. The inlay on headboard is wheat, which symbolizes the agriculture of Saskatchewan while the inlay on footboard is lines and squares, which symbolizes the industry of our province.  The wood for inlay is purpleheart.

The hardware used for connecting the bed rails with headboard and footboard is mortise bedlocks,  A router jigs were used to rout the recess holes for the bedlocks installation.

Three coats of danish oil were applied for the bed after thorough sanding.

The dimension of the bed is 210cm long, 171cm high for headboard and 170cm wide.

Test installation of the bed.
