mason-headboard

I seen the Reclaimed-Wood Headboard, Queen Size plan and thought hey i can do that. Well this is the result and I'm happy with it. I did do it a little different like routering a slot for the boards to fit down in. I wood burned the image and stained the inside of it to look like that. It didn't take to long to make the most time was spent sanding and staining.

One day I'm going to buy a real woodburning kit though. I used 2 wal-mart cheap one's and it took me about 4 hours. Only the out line is done with the burner the inside is done with stain.

I've been woodburning for about a year. I actually built the same headboard and really wanted to do some burning on it, but never did. I was using the 5-in-1 soldering iron/woodburner from harbor freight and it served me well. Last week I picked up a $30 from a craft store and it way better than the HF one. Good luck!

Edit*
Heres the one I just got. Its worth every penny.
