I spent most of my adult life as a furniture maker,
your bed looks great and should have sound resale potential


your not the first person to tell me that there may be a possible market for these. i am not building it for the resale value. this will cost me over 700 bucks to build and have powder coated. i would have to sell it for well over $1000 to make it even worth the time. i guess you never know.........
 
Looks like you stole the Grey Poupon guy's fence. :D

No insult intended johnnydart, it looks good. Got a Victorian theme going on in your house? Making a footboard to match? Would look good as a four post.....
 
I Like it! Looks Like you have done a fine job!
Powder coating on it would look great in the "Hammered finish" called
Silver Vein ! I used that color when powder coating my skidplates for offroad truck I used to build! Looks rich![cl

thank you for the compliment. i did a coffee table in the past with a similar style. i used the cardinal brand copper vein. i did it with a 60% gloss clear over top and it turned out awesome. the bed will see the same coating.
