Hi All, Its been quite a while since I have had time to post. I thought I would share one of my latest projects. This is a king size, cherry/cherry veneer sleigh bed I made for some friends. It definetely had its challeges. I have not veneered such a large curved panel before but I think it came out OK. I hope the pics come out, I battled for an hour or so to get them to upload. thanks for looking.

Just last week my daughter asked me to make exactly the same bed frame as part of a cherry bedroom set I am starting on.
Details...Details.....How did you make this great project?

Oh, boy, that's a beauty!! I'm thinking about something like this someday for a project, too!
(The pictures are quite pixelated...what software are you using to prepare them for web upload? Perhaps we can help you overcome that.)

Thanks for the comments, always appreciated.
Jim, any help would be great. I am just using the HP software that came with my camera. I finally achieved a small enough file to upload by reducing the compression. I also have access to Kodak's version of the same.
Steve, I will be glad to post the details. I just need a little time to pull it together. Thanks for the interest.
Enjoy the journey,
Martin

Martin, I suspect that the HP software is the culprit. The camera I gave my dad a couple years ago came with it and it's pretty limited. In the interim, try using a smaller physical size with less (not more) compression. 320x240...a bit small, but you should at least be able to retain some detail without exceeding the 100kb limit. Ask your Valentine (!) for a nice copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements...as you have many, many projects to share with your friends at SMC!!! LOL!

Martin,
Quite a beautiful piece! Much impressed. Can you post a little detail on how you did the curved panels for us who have never done such?
I love the "exit" sign in the bedroom.....

Is the plan of your own design, or can you give us the source?
