Walnut Headboard

[Mark Johnson]

Today was the final glue up on a walnut headboard for my spouse. The lumber was from her family farm and had been air dried about 50 years. Here are some in progress pictures starting with milling the rough cut lumber.

Very neat.

That’s some crazy beautiful wood and a real treat. Made all the better by the family connection.

Beautiful, the warm of the wood and the way the grain pops is terrific.

Very nice. What are the pieces in photo # 6? I can't seem to find them in the final product.

those are pieces of the top post cap just prior to glue up. They are not yet installed in the final photo of the glue up. Probably get installed today after I remove all the clamps.

Here is the final product.
