Hand-Carved Alder Bedstead by Vasyl Baranov — view 1

The headboards are made of wooden boards glued by me, which were carefully sanded to obtain a smooth surface. The pattern on the headboards is my own design. I carved it by hand, using only chisels and gouges, without using electrical equipment. I glued the legs of the bed from alder slats, which gives them strength and an elegant look. I attached the headboards to the legs with tenons and hinges, and fixed them with dowels. During the finishing process, I used two layers of stain, which emphasizes the texture of the wood. After that, the patterns were lightly sanded to highlight the details and covered with two layers of nitro varnish. The final stage was the application of polyurethane varnish for illumination. This bed is the result of inspiration, painstaking work.
