This bed was inspired by an article by Russell Hall in Taunton's Home Furniture magazine (Nov 1997 issue) – see 1st picture. I liked the creative use of the live edge slab and the curved asian styling.The head board and foot board feature consecutive slices made from a walnut slab. I had to cut the slab in half horizontally, re-saw the two pieces then glue them back together (glue line is nearly invisible).Frame pieces are made from alder. Joinery is mostly floating tenons (Dominos). I used Rockler's bed rail connection system that allows invisible, strong connection of the side rails.
