I plan to use 3 large domino tenons on the sides of the panel to attached to the posts. Queen size bed and panel is 12" high.
1. l was planning on gluing it along the full 12" height even though there is 3-1/2" of end grain on either end where it attaches to the panel. Is this going to be a problem with cross grain movement over time?
2. Planning to add a top piece that sits on top of the posts and runs across the width of the posts with a little over hang. This will sit right on top of the panel. I wanted to use 3 or 4 dominos to help locate this piece and keep it tight against this top piece. I was planning on gluing the panel to the top piece since the grain runs in the same direction. Is this OK?
Thanks for your help.
