Fancy Dog Bed Photo

This Dog Bed Plan comes from MLCS Woodworking. This dog bed has a 19 x 13 inch interior and is sized for a small breed dog. You need to modify the plan if you have a medium or large sized dog. This free plan comes as a 7 page PDF with 13 step-by-step instructions, 22 construction pictures, and a template for cutting the headboard. This plan uses some fancy joinery so I would say this plans is for an intermediate woodworker.
