I made this bedroom set about 10 years ago for a client after I designed her home. I have just completed her new home and she moved the bedroom set to its new location. I was pleased that the design still worked very well in the new home. The wood is maple and walnut. I laminated yhe backrests with a curve by clamping thin sheets in a custom form and clamping with Titebond between layers. Handmade furniture is appreciated by clients and seems to stay in the family....even when they change homes.
