Headboard

This project was the construction of a maple headboard. I came up with the design and through iterations of specific geometries and wood sizes came up with the final product. All the joints are dowel joints with wood glue. The lower leg section is stabilized to the top portion of the headboard with "L" and "T" brackets.

Don't know if you keep this up anymore since you did this almost 3 years ago, but what color did you stain the maple?

It was a black stain, I believe I used MinWax. I didn't need to let it sit long so I applied it quickly and then removed it quickly.
I've been focusing most of my time on my new site, this project will be included on it in the near future.
