This project took longer than expected, but today set up/installed the new headboard . Learned a lot on this project: the beauty of working with cherry (altho it burns easily). It finishes well , in this case, oil and also discovered the technique of padding/french polishing. The Arch/curves/angles were a challenge esp when I deviated from original plan and did raised panels and different thicknesses of materials,etc. I'm not pleased w the look of the cherry in these pics but of course, with time, it will darken . In deference to Tyler, I've attached pics, The first one is as we were setting up andbefore LOML covered my work w pillows,etc.Please overlook my mistakes..
