Wolf’s Unique ‘Hobbit’ Design Bed Frame

“Perhaps it’s love, perhaps it is obsession… I don’t know if I’ll ever figure it out. All I know is that it’s been many years since I’ve been as enamoured with a motion picture as I have become with Peter Jackson’s, “The Lord Of The Rings”. Combine this with the fact that my eight-year-old daughter needed a bed, and you know where I’m going with this.” – Wolf Moehrle

The bed is made from solid ash. The carving on the headboard is in keeping with the “Hobbit” design, and the native bird is my own personal seal. The lettering is a typeface called, ‘Angerthas Moria dwarf runes’ that I got from the Internet (unfortunately the site no longer exists). The inscription that I chose reads, “A life lived in fear is a life half lived”, which is something that has great meaning for me personally, and because the bed is for my daughter I wanted to put something of myself into it.
