Headboard

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


This was a quick headboard, made mostly from left overs from other projects. The posts have dados down the center that the bead boarding slots into and the front and back rails have mating rabbets that form a dado in the top and bottom for the beadboarding to ride in. The rails are mortised into the posts. The top plate is glued to the top rail and has lag screws that connect it to the posts. The lag screws sit in a counter bore that was later plugged and sanded flush to hide the fastners. After a good sanding it recieved two coats of rattle can flat white to prime it. Then another round of sanding followed by two coats of the finish color “french cream” (off white).
