Title: Live edge headboard
Post by: purple otter on November 07, 2014, 07:34:33 PM
Here is a headboard made out of chestnut oak. I left it rough sawn and just lightly sanded it. It's a little rustic, but it goes well in my house.

I think chestnut oak is my favorite to work with.

Hey Lud ,50-50 minwax early american/ puritan pine with only 1 coat satin poly. I wanted it to still feel rough.

I do a bit of stain mixin' myself.  I like your result.  I've got some matching to do of Golden Oak that has aged to a mellow brownish and I know the straight G.O. is too yellowish.  A bit of Puritan should tone it down nicely.
Thanks for the inspiration! 8)
