MACKINTOSH DESIGN ASH QUEEN BED
COMPLETE HEADBOARD/FOOT BOARD
MASSIVE 10+" SIDE RAILS

The Queen Bed Headboard is 59" tall x 64" wide.
The foot board is 39" tall.

THIS BED IS A BEAUTY....LOOK AT THE GRAIN ON THE FOOTBOARD.

LOOK AT THE MATCHING RIFT SAWN GRAIN ON ALL THE SLATS.

The Bed is made from dense, hard ASH. The stretcher boards are over an inch thick. We do not use thinner,4/4 lumber. All of our work is cut from thicker 5/4" (one and a quarter inches at the start) boards. These beds are made one at a time. All the joints are hand cut, hand fitted, and cross-pinned with white oak dowels after gluing.

The grain is very elegant and well matched. The finest construction and finish are evident throughout this piece.
ALL of our work is handmade, one piece at a time. We use machinery to produce the components. After that, there are far more chisels and hand planes used than power saws and sanders....
HANDMADE WITH A DEEP HAND RUBBED FINISH.Our colors are a favorite among Arts & Crafts antiques collectors.

We can supply many comments/references from prior customers. In 25 years of hand-crafting thousands of pieces of Arts & Crafts furniture, I have never had a dissatisfied customer. A complete measure of our talents and capabilities can be viewed on our web site ..... www.dryadstudios.com

AS GOOD AS IT GETS....STYLING......CRAFTSMANSHIP.... ATTENTION TO DETAIL.....COLOR.....AND FINISH.
THE ANILINE DYE AND GLAZING BRING OUT THE BEST IN THE BEAUTIFUL BOARDS.

THE SIDE RAILS ARE OVER 10" WIDE AND HAVE TWO SETS OF RAIL HOOKS ON EACH END !!!! WE CAN'T STAND THE THOUGHT OF THIS BED'S SIDE RAILS LOOSENING UP....NOT EVEN A CENTURY FROM NOW, SO WE DOUBLED THE HARDWARE ON EACH END......!!!!.

Superb styling, attention to detail, and finish are combined with the finest construction. This bed will last centuries.

YOUR PATRONAGE WORKS IN FAVOR OF YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT, AND CONTRIBUTES TO A MORE SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENT.WE HAVE HAD OUR TIMBER IN THE TREE FARM SYSTEM FOR 30 YEARS. WE WERE "GREEN" LONG BEFORE "GREEN" WAS COOL. GO TO OUR WEBSITE AT www.dryadstudios.com AND FOLLOW THE LINKS TO THE ...ABOUT US... SECTION. UNDER HISTORY, PHILOSOPHY, PRIORITIES, STEWARDSHIP, YOU WILL COME TO UNDERSTAND OUR 35 YEAR COMMITMENT TO A SUSTAINABLE FOREST AND A " LOW IMPACT" PROCESS TO PRODUCE THE FINEST FURNITURE POSSIBLE.

Our Finish is second to none....It is Deep...Rich...and Elegant.
We wet every part, and the finished piece, with hot water many times, and sand them, before staining. This raises the grain several times, and guarantees the finish will still be as elegant in 100 years as it is now....
We finish all of our work using Water Soluble Aniline Dyes for a crystal clear, deep color.Aniline dyes are known for their deep rich color, absolute clarity, and colorfastness.
These dyes are hard to master, and almost never used commercially.
Between each coat of the stain, sealer, glaze, and three coats of lacquer, we sand the piece with 320 grit for a FINISH THAT IS AS WONDERFUL TO FEEL AS IT IS TO SEE. FINALLY, We HAND RUB the entire piece with rubbing lubricant and FINE Scotchbrite pads for a JADE SMOOTH FINISH.
The nature of the type of DYES, and GLAZE that we use produces a finish that emphasizes the different texture in each board, rather than attempt to make every square inch the same color.
This produces color patterns that match those found in early Mission antiques.AS MUCH AS OUR FINISH BLENDS WITH ANTIQUES, IT IS A DURABLE, MODERN FINISH. WE USE THE FINEST VINYL SEALER AND WATER RESISTANT LACQUER. IT IS HIGHLY ALCOHOL AND WATER RESISTANT.
