Pencil Post Bed Woodworking Plan.

Slender tapered bedposts give the pencil-post bed it name. Topped with a canopy—called a tester—this beauty fits many decorating styles. Plus we have added in-depth information on attaching the bed-bolt brackets that make this bed easy to disassemble and move. We have also included plans for building and using the taper jig to make the graceful pencil post legs.
