The Ludlow Dog Bed Company Handmade Oak dog beds, made to order, made by hand, made to last. Using traditional joinery methods There is currently an eight week lead time on all orders.

All our beds are made using hand tools and traditional joinery methods, which in most cases do not require nails or screws. Due to the labour-intensive nature of the work in creating these beautiful beds, they do take time with each bed needing some three full days to make, though the actual process is longer.

Whilst it has been quiet on here, it has been a busy time at The Ludlow Dog Bed Company. A new workshop has been built, though not quite finished yet. It may take a while longer to finish now as I have a few beds to be getting on with.
Below are some sections being cleaned up ready to transform into the legs. It is warm work doing it all by hand.

Another made to measure dog bed completed. At 75cm x 55cm this one is ideal for smaller dogs. As you can see my Border Terrier cheekily jumped in as soon as I added the custom fit cushion with its washable cover. Luckily she was clean.

Here is another photo of the matching pair of dog beds, this time with the incumbents happy and cosy.

The pair of beds installed in the customer's house, now the low legs make sense. Did we mention we can also supply made to measure cushions with a fabric of your choice? Just make sure you choose a washable one. Here a pink has been chosen to go along with the curtains.

The pair of matching dog beds all ready for collection. They are finished simply with RAW Linseed Oil which brings out the natural textures and patterns in the oak beautifully. A beeswax polish can be applied if the customer wishes, either by us or themselves once they get the beds home.

An example of a low bed being test fitted together before final assembly. This is one of a pair designed to fit either side of a chimney breast and under fitted shelves.

As all our beds are made to order, we can size them to your needs.

This finished dog bed is suitable for a large labrador or a couple of smaller dogs to share. All beds come with a slatted base to allow for good air circulation so keeping the underside of the cushion dry. In the unlikely event a slat should get broken, they are easily replaced.

The joints have all been tested for fit, the boreholes drilled to take the pegs and the legs given a nice chamfer towards the base. That is a lot of work with a hand plane. We are now ready for the final assembly.

As you will have seen, we used this photo as our cover photo.

The end boards of one of our beds set up in a test fit before continuing with boring peg holes, chamfering the legs and final glue-up, at which point the pegs are driven home to hold it all tight and secure for years to come.

Welcome to our brand new page. In fact, we are a very new business, started this year during the dreaded lockdown. However, our dog-beds have been very well received by all who have seen them and purchased them. Great care and pride are taken in the making of these and all are handcrafted using traditional hand tools, often antique in themselves, along with traditional joinery such as 'drawbore mortice & tenon', which is very strong and going to last a lifetime

There will always be a limited supply of these beautiful dog-beds simply because of the time required to make them. You are investing in something that is made to last, looks fantastic and will be enjoyed by many generations of our four-legged friends.

If you would like any more information, or to discuss sizes for your room, please drop me a message, either here or even better via email.
