Zen Platform Bed
This bed has its eastern influences. It is a low profile platform bed. It is 18" off the ground to where the mattress starts. It was originally designed to use a futon mattress, but any innerspring mattress will be sufficient. The finish on this pieces is a deep cherry. To achieve this I use several steps in the finishing process. First I use a dye stain, usually a brown tone. This is a stain used on most production or assembly line furniture. It dries in a matter of seconds. This gives me the darkness needed for the finish, but leaves the wood looking too plain without depth. I then use a regular wiping stain, which "pop" the grain. This highlights the the grain and keeps it from looking bland. The clear coat that I use is a pre-catalyzed lacquer. I apply this in two coat with sanding in between. I thin the product very little if at all, to achieve a thicker more protective product. Case goods have been designed to match this bed, pictures are comming soon. If you would like me email pictures, you can request them by emailing me chris@wwbeds.com |
