Heres a headboard I just finished for a lady here in town . It will go with the walnut blanket chest I built earlier. She has been furnishing the lumber, and there has been some very nice boards. I made the panels on the table saw, again, a lot of sanding, but wanted to match the chest. The panels were cut from 4 different boards, almost two different book match. I made the crown molding on my 725 WoodMaster . The headboard is 60” tall and around 84” wide, and is very heavy. It has eight coats of gloss lacquer. Hope yall enjoy it.

Looks like it will match the blanket box just right! Any more projects in the works for this set?

Hey Griff,
I see that walnut still has some beautiful figure left in it-you didn’t use it all up in the blanket chest. That bedroom is gonna be one gorgeous place! As usual great design and build! Glad to see that you’re still using that walnut up. I know that head board has to weigh a ton. Congratulations again on an excellent project.
Sincerely,
Ken McGinnis

Griff,
This is a gorgeous headboard. You used some nice walnut for the piece and did a good job on the design and finish.
Well done.
