New custom bed
April 12th, 2011

Chadhaus recently finished this custom bed. We were excited to be working with salvaged elm that we milled ourselves (a process that started over two years ago), and even more excited about the painterly grain that emerged in building and finishing the piece.

The bed is simple in its form, allowing the natural beauty of the material to stand out in the expansive headboard – 9 feet in length!

Above is a closeup of the headboard showing the luminous quality of the grain. Below are images of the raw material – and the process it went through from tree to boards.
