Hi Folks,

Some time ago I was asking questions about murphy bed hardware. Thanks to those who helped out. I finally finished the bed. This is my biggest project to date, but was not all that complicated to make, although it took me a long time!

I used the Create a Bed hardware kit from lee Valley. Great instructions with the kit. The cabinet is hickory ply with solid wood edging. Headboard, trim & moulding are solid wood. The crown moulding is a built up moulding using 4 pieces of 4/4 lumber and 3 router bits. Finish is blo and orange shellac.

Thanks for looking, this is my first project, I felt worthy of posting here!

Sorry, for the skewed photos, but it is a queen size bed in a very small room, with lots of other stuff in there. Could not easily get a head on shot.
