Cowboy Headboard

Miles, This is a great piece! I think you did an excellent job of doing the “cowboy” motiff!

You are really cranking out some projects lately!

this is wonderful.
I especially love how you turned the “I didn’t get them all the way off” motifs into a design element. It definitely works. Nice

Nice job, Miles! Those old doors sure have some character to them. I just posted a project with old doors from early 1900’s and really understand stripping paint on them! I, too, left some of the old paint for added character.

Very nice for a “city slicker,” too! I think we all are cowboys at heart. Just wait for Thos to comment…. LOL

Way to go!
God Bless,
Hawg

Yippie-Ki-Yea! I think it’s great!

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

By golly, Miles, I think you got it!! Those are exactly what all the folks are looking for right now. I think your finish is exceptional. A lot of the folks who are buying these pieces right now are in my age group( baby boomers). We grew up on Roy Rogers, Gene Autry and Rex Allen, Etc. These pieces bring back that childhood love of the west and admiration we all felt for our heros. Make some more, they’ll sell like hotcakes. Real cowboys can’t afford any thing like this.

Great job, Miles. I like this a lot.

Now I’m sure there is a joke in there somewhere about giving a lady friend a bed with horns on it, but since this is a family website, I won’t go there. :-)

By the way, real cowboys NEVER wear their spurs to bed.

That has to do with creepy-crawley things in the night. Like real small Innians.
