THE BEDS
The beds listed here form the core of my bed cataloque. A number of beds are shown in their pre-polished state. These photographs don't do justice to the final polished finish. White painted beds seem to be popular again, so I'm reluctantly offering to hand-paint my reclaimed pine.
- All beds can be made with high or low footboards
- Beds can have straight sides or sleigh bed sides

Lindford ~
.
Painted ! See 'Buying' Note. Can be made with straight sides instead of the sleigh bed style shown. Can also be made with a low end board with a saving of 20%. See Arford and Selborne's low footboards.
.
.
Passfield ~
Passfield: similar to Lindford above but with diagonal boards. Not shown are the supports that fix the headboard to the bed frame.
.
Grayshott ~
Grayshott: spindles and fretsaw patterns give this bed a Scandinavian look. The shorter spindles are standard. Based on an original bed owned by Sven.
.
.
Headley ~
.
With triangular pediment. Shown on right- bedhead and footboard. The footboard is pedimentless.
.
.
Kingsley ~
.
Based on an original design. The sides are normally quite high but can be reduced in height. Looks fine with a low (board) end footboard. Note the hexagonal posts. Normally made (and looks best) with one long panel, as shown in the complete bed pics.

Conford ~
.
Conford: for those who can't stand fussy decorations on their beds!
.
.
Bentley~
.
Solid chunky design, suitable for the farmhouse with free range chickens.
.
.
Arford ~
Arford: rife with applied carvings. The footboard can be lower than shown in photo 1. The carvings are adapted to suit any size bed. Please note that a low foot board is just a board without any panelling. Photo 4, my daughter showing off her polishing (for pocket money!)

Alton ~
Alton: impressive for its simplicity ?

4'6'' headboard 3'
The Mickey mouse pediment could be re-designed by a willing customer! See Selborne's headboard below for ideas!

Hindhead ~

Hindhead: solid, basic and dependable! Designed by a customer.

My most requested bed !

Selborne ~
.
Flamboyant and sensuous. Selborne's posts can be shortened !

Froxfield~
Froxfield. Very nice Froxfield .details:
. . Low panelled footboard Post carving by Sarah Goss
High panelled footboard
The omission of chunky posts give this bed a lightweight look. Also saves up to 4'' of space on a standard 6'3'' bed. The footboard can be made lower but best kept panelled as shown and not made with a board as in Selborne above. If you want just a board (see Selborne above) for a footboard then the bed qualifies for a 20% discount. Pics 2 & 3 shown unpolished.
FROXFIELD look alike in light grey
.
.Portchester~
.
Portchester. Has that fortified look. I like it. Hexegonal posts. I'm tempted to make the headboard a fraction higher so that it's not swamped by the pillows.
.
Oakhanger
The defining detail here are the shaped posts which flare out and the lean back/camber of the top rail. Can be made with a lower footboard in the same style (my preference, as in pics 5 or 6 ) or with a simple footboard.
More beds in the same style below:
Bed 2 has a drawer/truckle bed underneath. The matress size for this is a standard small single: 30x69'' (76x175cm)

DRAWER UNDER BED
.
Froxfield with a full depth drawer for storage but not for a standard matress. For the drawer to fit a standard matress the bed will need to be a couple of inches longer.
.
Truckle~
.
Truckle: low bed for sleeping under lorries. Doesn't come with the two pelmets shown !
