This project is a queen sized bed inspired by a Stickley Panel bed. I didn't have anything to go on other than the picture from the Stickley web site, and the overall dimensions. I set to work drawing up my own plans from these two bits of information.
The construction of the bed features through mortise and tenon joints connecting the horizontal rails to the posts. The headboard and the footboard have a frame and panel construction where vertical stiles contain the panels and connect the two horizontal stiles. The top horizontal stiles on the headboard and footboard have a broad inverted V shape that is characteristic of a number of Stickley pieces.
I like the idea for the runners expecially with the dovetails for the extra support.

@jwarner75 Thanks Handi. It seems like a lot of work for something that is rarely seen, but heck, I know it's there, and I'm proud of it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
