New String Bed

I have always wanted a string bed since I visited India.  I wanted to bring the frame and string home, but thought the wood would be too heavy and cumbersome to ship.  Solution... make a string bed here!  So my husband and nephew finally got to work this summer and made the frame.  Then to find someone who new how to weave the jute in the traditional way... luckily my nephew's mother in law new how!  Great job

    Hello Lee Annn

    while looking for charpoy, I found your blog. About a month ago I bought a charpoy from the Patel Brothers store. I really like my charpoy and I would like to learn how to weave the top of the bed. Do you have any notes for sale or could you tell me how to do the beautiful rope weaving I see on your charpoy?If so let me know (embeadke@bellsouth.net) Thanks
