Thanks guys. It is nice to see the finished product at delivery. I should have been taking photos of all my stuff, but....
Bruce, the 712 is a poplar crown that is just a bit more fancy than the Brosco wider crowns you see carried at most lumberyards. Pricey but not too much used in the headboard. (Did a whole house with it last winter, along with replacing casing and baseboards. It does make a statement! So did his materials bill.) Here is a website the profile, it's the 4th one down.

Hoping to get a few more such orders to keep busy in the shop, as I have had a kitchen and a bathroom, both with permits pulled, indefinitely postponed....... |

nice work but it reminds me of the 3 Stooges episode where they were in a Scottish Castle and that bed that slid in and out of the wall with that same kinda headboard , have you tested it out for stability you know banging aginst wall during $EX ,Something Clammer dreams of.
really nice work I can't even match up a 45 deg angle if you came to my house and I've done all the work to it you can tell a Trucker did the work

Cleat screwed into studs , then headboard secured to the cleat and baseboard. That thing ain't moving, or making noise.....
I always overbuild....

Nice job on the custom workbench, Rosco -
Looks sturdy enough not to get damaged once ya start swingin' the old man-hammer...  |
