The authentic beds, made between 1790 and 1800, were especially popular in Virginia. Turning the posts and spindles will delight the wood turning enthusiast, though one could just as easily use square or tapered legs along with purchased spindles. Each headpost is to be turned in two sections so it can be handled by the average home lathe turner. Both twin and full size beds are detailed by the plan. The 39" high design will prove to be a most rewarding project.

All joinery is shown in actual size, curved workpieces are all in full size and you can measure and trace straight from the drawing. A bill of materials doubles as an exact cutting list, there is a detailed exploded diagram, and all hardware requirements are provided. The exploded diagram is so detailed that project specific assembly instructions are not provided. A special booklet entitled Guide to Building Wood Furniture is included with each Furniture Designs, Inc. plan and includes many tips explaining the "component theory" of woodworking.
