This is a king sized bed frame. The beams interlock. They were burnt with a torch, stained and clear coated. The headboard was my first attempt at upholstery.

Oh my gosh, this bed is absolutely gorgeous! Did you use or modify one of Ana's plans, draw it up yourself? Would absolutely love the plans to build one for myself if its okay :)

Thanks! I don't really have
Thanks! I don't really have any plans for it. I got the idea from searching screwless bedframe. Found one one instructables site:

I wanted one that could be built with no screws (the headboard does have some screws though). My plan is to raise the frame on posts also so I could get rid of the box spring.
The hardest part is making the wedge cutout. I used a miter saw first and finished the cut on the scroll saw to get straight clean cutout. (step 3 from the website posted shows a good picture)
The headboard is basically a smaller version of the bed frame. Then I stapled the fabric on, then stuffed it with quilting baton.
Hope that helps. Check out the link, it will help more.
