The Princess Bed is done

I have been working on a pencil post bed for some time. I wanted to see if I could make the posts. I made a set out of pine and then decided to finish the project. I made the bed for my granddaughter who is a true Princess. We will be putting a canopy on the top. We have some very sheer material that will look very nice.

While the posts are pine, I used poplar for the other parts of the bed. To match the color I used a dye. It worked fairly well. It is quite a project. I do not know if I am anxious to repeat the process. Clearly it would be easier the second time.

Here are some pictures of the finished bed in the living room. I set it up there so I could complete the top and minimize the likelihood of shop-rash. The last picture is the other princess - Princess Sophie.












We traveled to Salmon River High Adventure Scout Camp to visit my daughter who is working at the camp as a cook.  We were there to celebrate her birthday.  It is a wonderful place. The river is very high and moving fast.  The camp is on the North Fork of the Salmon River.
