We offer several different styles of Cannonball Bed. Each made to order per your specifications ( mattress size, mattress height, wood type, headboard profile etc.) Our beds are primarily constructed in maple, tiger/curly maple, cherry, mahogany and walnut. Painted beds are constructed from maple. Contact us if you see something you like and we can guide you through the options. If you have something else in mind we are happy to work with you on your custom bed.

The Country Bed Shop was started in 1972.
All the work from rough lumber to finish is done right here. Each piece is made to order so I can modify it to your needs. This includes setting the rail and headboard heights properly to fit your mattress, something often overlooked with today's thicker mattresses. If you don't see anything that suits you on our website I can work from a photo, sketch or book reference to make the piece that you prefer.
I joined the Bed Shop in 1992 as a young man , and over the years have taken "sabbaticals" to work in other shops/trades learning new skills but always returning to the Bed Shop to bolster our offerings. The Bed shop allows a blending of all my interests and training: art, history, design,and problem solving all being regular aspects of the job, it's never boring for me.
The small scale of our operation allows for the kind of personal interaction that makes the jobs meaningful as well.
We have had our beds featured in numerous magazines, as well as built for the film industry and some actors too.
We make more than beds as well, and I'm always looking for the next interesting and challenging project. That's what keeps us going.
We'd be happy to speak with you regarding your next piece or any questions you might have about what we do.

For Low Post BedsMy husband and I have been married 38 years and finally decided to purchase a bed we have always wanted. My only regret is that we didn't do this sooner. The bed is heirloom quality - tiger maple low turned posts. It is so beautiful - it makes the room look grand. Daniel made the bed to our specifications. He was quick to respond to questions and kept in touch. He finished earlier than expected, delivered and assembled the bed himself. I was so glad to meet him personally - his sense of ownership and integrity was clear. We are so pleased and highly recommend his work. Patty Parker
