Handcrafted Alder Bunk Beds – A Perfect Fit for a Luxury Home in Bend, OR
At Frank L Garrett Construction, we specialize in high-end custom woodworking in Central Oregon, crafting one-of-a-kind pieces that blend beauty and durability. Our latest project? Custom solid alder bunk beds designed and built for a luxury home south of Bend, OR. This project highlights our commitment to precision, using expert joinery techniques and superior materials to create furniture that stands the test of time.
Designing & Planning the Perfect Fit
The project began with detailed planning to ensure the bunk beds seamlessly matched the home’s existing trim style and color scheme. Using Superior Grade Alder, we crafted a design that would not only look stunning but also provide long-lasting strength and stability.
Precision Joinery for Maximum Durability
Joinery is at the heart of every well-built piece, and this project was no exception.
We used slip tenons to reinforce the taller sections, ensuring maximum stability.
The bed rail joints, where the rail connects to the headboard and footboard, were crafted to withstand a lifetime of use.
Every hole was meticulously bored for 9/16” bolts, ensuring a tight, secure fit.
Crafting the Components in Our Redmond Woodshop
All the bunk bed parts were milled and cut to length in our Redmond, OR woodshop before moving on to the detailed joinery process. The V-Grooved middle sections were custom-made from rough-cut lumber, adding a touch of handcrafted character.
Next, we turned our attention to the ladder for the upper twin bed, where precision was key. Using carefully crafted patterns, we ensured a perfect fit, completing a dry fit to confirm everything aligned flawlessly.
Assembly & Finishing Touches
As the project neared completion, we:
Assembled all major components, ensuring precise alignment.
Conducted a final sanding to smooth every surface.
Applied a custom stain and finish to enhance the natural beauty of the alder wood.
Installation in a Luxury Home Near Bend
After three weeks of meticulous craftsmanship, the custom bunk beds were ready for installation. The finished product not only complements the home’s aesthetic but also provides a sturdy, heirloom-quality piece that will be enjoyed for generations.
