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...!

Like it or not , all barns can,t be saved. I think it's great something got made from it. What is the pity is the barn that falls into disrepair collapes and is burned by the fire company for practice. I've people hear what I do and try to give me a barn or house and I can't work for free sothey get some bozo with a trachoe and dumpster do it for peanuts! Until something changes this crime will continue. We need laws against destruction and waste that don't tie the hands of ligitament salvage people. Oh yeah cool bed.
