Rolling-Pin Bed
Feb 03, 2015
Woodworker: William Edwards
Edwards’s rolling-pin bed is built in the style that was prevalent in New Orleans’s French Quarter during the Colonial era. The detachable rolling pin on the headboard was used daily to smooth out mattresses made of horse hair or Spanish moss. To turn the 8-ft. bed posts, Edwards used an industrial lathe at a local mill that makes house columns.
Materials: Cypress and brass, 54W X 75L X 96H
