303bnb Barnwood Headboard Part 4:

Fitting the barn wood was relatively easy. All of the boards I had on hand (thanks dad) were longer than the span, giving me the freedom to trim the rough ends. I had to hand plane some high spots to get the gaps right, but overall the boards were pretty straight. I tried to pick and arrange the boards to both randomize the coloring and put the better boards up high. Once the layout was done, I finished each board with a double coat of clear acrylic.

 I almost forgot to post a picture of this frame detail. I notched out the bottom of each side rail to accommodate the baseboards. Now the frame can be directly bolted to the wall using the bungs I welded on in part 1.
