Washingtons folding camp bed
|
|
This is one of three (probably the second) of the camp beds Washington used throughout his military career. This photo is taken of the bed now on display in the museum at Mount Vernon. My version of this bed is identical (I've got a set of measured drawings) except I don't own or know how to use a lathe. Because of this the legs on mine are square tapers, and the posts are octagonal tapers. Incidentally, the canopy frame and finials are interpretations--the originals do not exist.
