King-Size Bed With Storage And Headboard

A CustomMade project that was a ton of fun to make and install. king-sized bed frame made of 200-year-old reclaimed barn wood heart pine and a head board made of antique interior doors and antique exterior house columns from a yale university property. extra care was taken to insure there was no lead-based paint, it was hypo-allergenic and eco-friendly. all the paint work on the head board was done with latex paints and the base was finished only with water-based polyurethane (no stains or dyes). i assembled and installed the bed in the customer's home. a little more info can be found here: http://youtu.be/9QnUYhDUb94 thanks for looking, tim

I am an independent artist/artisan working exclusively in reclaimed, recycled, upcycled and found materials.

i make the useless useful again. i make worthless things priceless.

from conception, to making it to sweeping up, i am a one-man operation - by design.

my work is not for everyone. my customers are people who want truly unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that are made fairly and ethically from locally salvaged materials - with as small a footprint as i can muster.

i will make and ship things all over the united states (depending on size) but i prefer to work regionally (Boston to NYC and thereabouts).

listed on this page are some pieces i've made for others and some pieces i have available for sale. but what i really want to do is design and make what YOU want. let's do it!

be good,
tim

oh yeah, at youtube.com/timsway you will find more than one hundred video of things i've made.

    Tim Sway did an awesome job on my mini chess board!!! He explained the process, worked out the details with me, gave me options, and created something truly unique. And it looks exactly like the picture I provided!!!

    Tim is super fun and easy to work with. He had lots of creative suggestions for our project (turning my grandfather's WWII trunk into a coffee table), and the finished product was completely perfect, even better than we hoped for!
