Re: Aonghus' Slat Bed

Gobae, Thanks, I think i spent 50 hours on that bed, 20 of which was carving. The bed is indeed Viking in design and was made using plans that were developed from the Gokstad and Osberg finds. http://www.ravensgard.org/prdunham/Gbed.html I modified the plans dimensionally to suit my particular space...
