This bed is designed for a child's Snoopy & Red Baron themed bedroom. The bed is inspired by an English WWI Sopwith Camel, and features biplane wings, brightly colored wheels and a detailed nose cone. The wheels serve as the legs for the bed and do not turn. The propeller also is fixed in place to avoid potential injury to the child. The bed is made of hardwood plywood for the frame and wings, MDF for the round nose cone, cherry engine cylinders and a carved oak propeller. We couldn't find an appropriately sized propeller for this bed, so we made one ourselves! The slats are the Ikea sprung Sultan Luroy model, which provides nice support for the mattress without the need for a box spring. The bed is painted with latex semi-gloss enamel. We designed this bed based on a general description from a designer. This will go into a show house, but it is sturdy and safe enough for everyday use in a child's bedroom. It is made to be disassembled and crated for delivery (this one went almost all the way across the country). We can make an imaginative bed like this for your child, too! Tell us your concept, and we'll put together design drawings and work with you to finalize the perfect bed. For another example, please see the pirate ship bed on our Maker page.

For Box bench with top opening lid ProjectMy first interaction with Steve was pleasant. He immediately sent over a CAD according to my specifications and photos, which allowed us to have a solid talking starting point in our conversation. For each iteration, Steve promptly sent over more renderings and really allowed me to customize the banquette to my liking. He really knows his material and craft (which is good because I had no idea) and the final product was truly amazing. He finished the project in about two weeks, much earlier than I expected.
Thanks Steve, my banquette goes perfectly in my new room!

Steve took our ideas and worked with us to produce a truly beautiful table that fits well into our house. the process was very pleasant and enjoyable.

Heather Hawley
For Table ProjectI am very happy with the finished project. I was also very happy with the overall experience of working with Steven and Drew. They were professional, asked important questions, gave their own input and really listened to what I wanted as well as doing their own research to make sure we were all on the same page. The table came out exactly as I hoped it would. We are already considering using D&S Artistic Woodworking for another project that is how happy we are with their work. I can easily recommend others to enlist their expertise.
