Thanks guys! The glue up was all “a**es and elbows” what with 56 mortises to glue and line up all at once! I use loose tenons, so that’s why there are so many mortises. Anyway the thing finally came together and hasn’t fallen apart yet….

This is a beautiful headboard! Is that a matching footboard?

No, sorry, no footboard. The piece is for a hospital bed that tilts up, bends, etc. so it is actually attached to the wall, not the bed. A footboard would not have had anything to attach it to, but would have looked better I think.
