This SketchUp model was the design for what I call the Tornado Bed. I was wanting a design that looked good, but would be somewhat easy to build. The panel headboard, heavy timbers throughout and a unique finial enabled a custom look which was easy to create.

This was special project since it was donated to disaster relief. I have the full construction process (sadly, in reverse order like is common with all blogs) documented here at my blog – to see it click here.
