I don't know about "rustic"..... Scary maybe.
I want to meet the woman that puts that in her bedroom.

Cool use of timber, but I can't help but think about slivers and dust bunnies. CB.

I hate the idea of chopping up old barn frames to make crap like that. A close look shows metal brackets, not joinery, holding the bed frame together. Old barns are a non-renewable resource (there is only so many left) and should be reused wisely. Tom

I agree with Tom. It pains me to see buildings being turned into flooring, tables, bed frames and other products. However, that is the nature of living in a free society.
Thanks for sharing the photo.

Tom,
there will be a time where all the old frames are "gone". By that time everything currently being build will be "old" so future TFs will have those to dismantle...........

I wouldn't do it...I like the idea of timber furniture (made a bed frame myself) But one shouldn't do that to such great timbers...!
