Tom has carved two Baby Beds to date. These beautifully crafted beds are fully
functional while still bringing elegance to any nursery. These heirloom quality beds are
certain to be in your family for generations to come. The bed featured here is made out of
Mahogany and then stained to achieve this rich color. The story book at the top of the headboard
leads into the theme of childrens bed time stories and nursery rhymes while the castle under it
reminds us of the whimsy that dreams bring. Mother Goose is featured on the inside of the
headboard, while each
of the side rails shows us the stories of Hansel and Gretal and the Old Lady Who Lived in a Shoe.
The lower sides of these rails also show us teady bears doing various things like roller skating.
The footboard features a large bow with the phrase "Gift From Heaven" carved under it and on
the inside of the footboard the popular ryme of Hey Diddle Diddle is represented. On the outter side
below the spindles the adventures of Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox are shown and a scene of Rip Van Winkle
resides just above the beautifully carved dust ruffle. Every part of this bed has been created with
meticulous attention to detail.
Each of the 94 spindles were shaped by hand and all of the
spindles on the head and foot boards (44 spindles) rotate so that they can entertain children
as they grow from babies into toddlers. To see some of these memorable details please click
on any picture of the baby bed.
While the first baby bed Tom carved belongs to his first grandchild
the bed featured here is still available for $25,000. Please Press the Order button for
