I got a response from an ad on craigslist about the hanging daybeds, he wanted a double bed, and we eventually settled on hickory wood. This turned out beautiful, and I think he was very happy with it. He wanted cupholders and a wine glass slot cut into the arms, I haven't had to do that before so it was a really cool challenge to design.

Started with a double base, attached some 8/4 hickory to the bottom
|
 |
Beautiful stuff, and I made the supports extra long
|
 |
Made the arms & back supports
|
 |
Cutting out the arms was tricky, I boxed in the cupholders and added the wine glass slots

Now with more back

 |
Added a cedar stain

 |
He wanted another board on the arms

This really did turn out beautiful. I used Old Masters wipe-on stain and Exterior Ascend topcoat. Hickory is a really hard, tough wood to work, I don't use it often on furniture like this but it is beautiful. And most importantly, the customer loved it.
