Amongst the pre-Christmas rush at British Hardwoods, Tony has been hard at work with his own specialist project. Tony has spent the last couple of days creating a very organic looking king-sized oak bed frame.

King Size Oak Bed Frame

The corner posts have been created from air dried oak beams and fixed together with draw peg mortise and tenon joints. The headboard has been produced from Waney Edge English Oak with the remaining pieces of the bed made from hand-planed from kiln-dried French Oak.

It looks to be a very sturdy frame, I'm sure Tony will test it over Christmas to see how well it holds.

The British Hardwoods crew got right into the festive spirit of Christmas Jumper Day for 'Save The Children' charity. If you look closely, you spot the elf in his fetching green and red tights.
