Sheraton-style Field Bed
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: G.R. Clidence
Clidence faced numerous challenges when crafting this Sheraton-style bed for today’s world. Since modern beds are bigger than those of the early 1800s, Clidence had to redesign the posts and the headboard to preserve the original proportions. The canopy framework, usually sawn and hinged, was instead steam-bent and chamfered. The bed is made from solid mahogany with oak and brass adornments. It is finished with stain and flat polyurethane rubbed with gel varnish.
