Designed and built these headboards out of tulip with beadboard panels. This was a fun project, and my wife even likes them.

Those are very nice. Very crisp and clean with a great paint job on them. I really like the incorporation of the bead board and the arched top rail.

TomFran,
Very nice indeed! Mind if I copy them? I’ve got some young grand children who could use something like this.Those comforters in the second photo are beautiful as well, were they purchased or does someone else there sew as well? One last question, did you build the three legged table as well? Now that the question and answer session is complete-Congratulations on a fine build.

Sincerely,
Ken McGinnis

Ken,

You are welcome to copy them – just give me a commission if you become a millionaire through mass production of them.

On the comforters, my wife does sew, but she bought these (T.J. Max).

The three legged table was purchased before I had a shop. I could give you some dimensions if you’d like to duplicate one of those. Let me know.

Thanks for the kind words on my headboards!

Hi Tom;

Great looking headboards.

I think the Mrs. should let you buy some new toy….tools just for having done that!

Lee,

Thanks a lot! You are a “master” of this work, and I appreciate your gracious comment on my humble work.

My wife is the greatest. I pretty much buy whatever I want. My only limitation is my tiny shop – I literally don’t have room for any more machines or equipment (well, maybe a little bit more ).

I thought of you while working on this project and even used one of your “tricks.” Thanks for being here on this site. You are a real asset!

Woodb1,

Thanks a lot!

The fires are about 20 mi. from me, so I’m safe and sound. The main threat has subsided, and now there is just a lot of problems from the smoke from the smoldering embers. Thanks for thinking of me.
