Cherry – Veneered Plywood

64.75” x 13.75″ x 43”

This headboard was crafted to fit onto an existing bed frame.  The primary design concerns were to provide a slightly reclined headrest surface, easily accessible storage behind the headrest surface, and a top surface that would not let items roll off and fall behind the bed.  The recline angle was determined by testing full scale partial mock-ups in the client’s home.  The hinged panels are made of Birch plywood covered in shop-sawn cherry veneer, making them dimensionally stable.  The headboard sides are solid Cherry frame and panel construction with mortise and tenon joinery.  The top is a solid piece of Cherry with a slight depression routed into the top surface.
