King Sized Headboard

I made a King Sized Headboard a few years ago...It was my first large project when we moved into our new house...The bedroom isn’t large enough for a footboard and rails, so I just made the Headboard...It’s Red Oak...With a Red Oak stain and 6 coats of Gloss Poly...There are no mechanical fasteners in it at all...just the brackets holding it to the wall.
The columns are hollow...I put them together with biscuits...The panel is held together with biscuits...The columns are held on to the panel with dowels...I made the design in the panel freehand with a router...And yes, that is about as difficult as it sounds :) The design was all mine from my head...If you are a Sci-Fi fan, you will recognize the symbol, and what the tops of the columns resemble.
Sorry about the quality of the pictures...I didn’t own a digital camera back then, and used a polaroid for my projects.
