Title: log bed for my log cabin
Post by: Ryan_Gill_HuntPrimitive on August 23, 2010, 11:21:23 pm

I wanted to share my log bed i made for my future log cabin.  its  not quite finished but all the pieces are there. I still have to do the finish work on it and seal it up but i want to let it dry out just a bit more before its finished.  I have been thinking,  between bows and knapping i just might offer my cabin building and log furniture building services to some of the locals next summer//once mine is done of course.  i figure its not too shabby for my first..just like anything else, get a few under your belt and  they will get sweeter.

wow that looks great! really professional looking.

how did you secure the headboard / foot board to the rails? Just with the drilled holes or do you have a locking mechanism of some sort?

again Looks great

thanks much guys.
   Wade, I use the drilled holes with tight pegs and then use 4 inch lag screws to draw them in solid and a couple 3" decking screws buried deep so you cant see them
