Shiner Bed

Shiner Bed
Woodworker: Peter Turner
Bored during a quiet moment at a craft show, Turner sketched out the design that would eventually become this queen-size bed (70-1⁄2 in. wide by 85 in. long by 43-1⁄2 in. tall). But before making the bed itself, he used the leg design on a bench, a rocking chair, a side table, and even a pair of doll beds for his daughter. Turner says he calls the bed “Shiner” because the clusters and patterns of the small rays on the surface of the beech remind him of schools of minnows. The finish is tung oil and citrus solvent.
