Northwest Native American Carved Beds

I was brought up with a fascination and deep appreciation for the cultures and hand crafts of the Native Americans. (For years I believed I was part Native American; though possible this is not likely.) The carvings of the northwest coastal Indians are particularly fabulous whether seen in a monumental totem pole or an intricately carved spoon. These beds portray the protective and fierce bear figure in the headboard and have further symbolic figures in each of the posts. The bed bolt covers are also carved faces. I appropriately carved from western red cedar, but the black stained rails are of poplar for more strength where it is required.
