Upcycled Skateboard Headboard And Queen Bed Frame
The headboard is made from retired skateboard decks and the frame is made out of 2x4, 2x6 and 4x4 pine that was recovered as scrap from a home construction site. The finish on the frame is an ebony stain that has been distressed with a chain and blow torch. The finish was then sanded to highlight the growth rings and match the used and abused look of the skateboards. It is held together with 3-1/2" lag bolts. The platform supported by three 2x4s secured using joist hangers also recycled from the built site. (contact about a platform for memory foam or air mattresses.)

Adam Wolfe
Sturgeon Industries Custom Woodworks
I have over 20 years of woodworking experience ranging from basic boxes and scroll saw work to framing houses and custom tables. I began making small boxes and have since moved on to large live edge dining tables, coffee tables and end tables. Nothing beats the feeling in my hand than a well made wooden product.
My business:
I quit my job to do wood working full time. wood working is my passion and my life. I have the equipment to build just about anything that doesn't require a 3D scanner and a 3D router. Because of my location I have access to numerous mills and hardwoods vendors. I always have maple, black walnut, and padauk on hand. However if there is an exotic wood you're looking for it's never far away.
Next month I will be hiring a black smith to make custom accents for the pieces as well expand product lines.
My work ethic is is quality over quantity. Every piece of wood has personality and I want the wood to speak for itself.
