This project is a queen sized bed inspired by a Stickley Panel bed. I didn’t have anything to go on other than the picture from the Stickley web site, and the overall dimensions. I set to work drawing up my own plans from these two bits of information. The construction of the bed features through mortise and tenon joints connecting the horizontal rails to the posts. The headboard and the footboard have a frame and panel construction where vertical stiles contain the panels and connect the two horizontal stiles. The top horizontal stiles on the headboard and footboard have a broad inverted V shape that is characteristic of a number of Stickley pieces.

yeah i am amazed by your attention to detail! i’m an apprentice carpenter in orlando and i want to get into trim work of this and greater magnitude and u seem like someone that would give me the training i’m looking for. excellent job! do u have the final part where you finish up the project?
@hiddenprophecy Do you mean the part where I put the piece over the bearing bit on the router table to expose the mortise on the other side? That veneer is so darn thin (less than an 1/8 inch) that there really wasn’t much danger of the bit catching and biting into the piece. In the veneer was any thicker, I would advise drilling a larger pilot hole and using a thinner flush trim bit. My pilot hole and router bit were nearly the same which is why I made mention of holding the piece firm. John
the very first one youdid
i’m talking about the mortice cut
is there a safer way to route that for the ones with looser hands?
