Mr. Chickadee | SIMPLE SHAKER BED @MrChickadee | Uploaded July 2017 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
It was high time we made a bed for our new house. This one started with riving out green posts from chestnut oak. These were planed down, then mortised before being turned on our treadle lathe.
The rails stiles and headboard of the bed are quarter sawn red oak we milled last year. The bed is finished with a simple mix of raw linseed oil cut 50/50 with citrus solvent.
