Our Primtive Beds are reminscent of Shaker beds and hired man's beds. 

Primitive Beds are handmade from "make-do" lumber with  3-inch 4-sided tapered posts.  "Make-do" is any lumber we have laying around the shop that can be painted – usually poplar, possibly pine or maple.  Select from 5 low-VOC finishes. The primitive bed transcends all home decor styles.
