Handmade beds are very limited in production and are made only on order.
Unlike machine carved beds, these are made the traditional way, are far more elegant, and create more embellished designs.
Each aspect is supervised personally by the artisan.
Care is taken to see that every curve and line meets the artisan's expert finish.
The process of creating a handmade bed is very interesting.
It takes us back to an era before the industrial revolution, where things were made at a mellow pace.
In fact, the artisans take pleasure in creating each design.
It is not like the present machine manufacturing where all you need to do is, feed the wood to the machine and you get a bed at the other end.
Since there are vast differences in constructing with hand and machine, soft wood that can be carved with hands are chosen as the raw material.
Only the best wood can withstand the hard knocks and chiseling of a human hand.
The wood for the handmade-beds is treated to increase its durability and dried to the right consistency.
In addition, dry and it can chip off easily.
Too moist and you cannot carve on it properly.
Then the parts are cut, sand milled and made smooth to work with.
Carving the designs is done at this point.
All the carvings are traced out and hand carved.
For few steps, machines are used.
The finished carved portion is sanded to smooth it.
Each part is joined with the next by the traditional tenon and mortise, which acts as a lock and key mechanism to hold the two pieces together.
These traditional joints are very durable.
For extra protection and to upgrade old traditions, these are glued together and let to set.
Meanwhile the structure is setting in, the four posters and the canopy are carved out and set in similar fashion on to the bed.
