A bedside chest

I was asked to build a small chest to sit between the two beds featured in my blog post below. It is a simple design, yet the quality is impeccable. Solid wood construction, even in the drawers.
Using some of my choice pieces of Beetle Kill Pine, the chest has a lot of brown in the grain, giving the piece an overall darker tone.
The drawers are made from 5/8" thick solid Beetle Kill Pine and features Blumotion undermount soft closing slides. They are full extension, meaning that the drawer comes all the way out of the cabinet for access.
The handles were cut from small limbs and burnished so that they looked whittled but feel very smooth in the hand.










Whatever your need is; picnic table, what-knot shelves, bookcases, etc., The Knotty Woodworker has over 20 years experience in woodworking and a plethora of fresh ideas to help make your house a home. Give me a call at 303.246.4766 to discuss what I can do for you.

Platform Beds

The Knotty Woodworker builds all types of indoor and outdoor furniture. Our specialty is Beetle Kill Pine. Recently I was commissioned to build a couple of simple farm style twin beds for a home in the Keystone/Breck area. This was actually part of a bigger job that included a bedside chest as well as a coffee table for te living room.
The design is quite simple. Using plate joinery, the head and footboards are strong and sturdy and will last a lifetime. Take a look at the pictures and see for yourself that having a piece handcrafted by The Knotty Woodworker will not only be built well, the beauty will rise above other beetle kill pine furnishings that are available. With well over 20 years experience, The Knotty Woodworker can meet your every desire in buying a piece of quality furniture.
