Hedboard bench

today's piece was made from a headboard that was bound for the dumpster. Good thing I got there when I did!


The giant bench!


Once upon a time this headboard was unwanted.


But wait! A whole new life is possible.


1/2" plywood cut to mirror the headboard.


3" foam- expertly cut.


Nail that fabric!


But is it still waiting for some upholstery buttons?

I'm so glad that I found your website. I enjoy seeing just what new piece you are working on. You do marvelous work. I wish I could do some of the things you do, but unfortunately I live in an apartment. No woodworking or anything like that here. But you do inspire. Keep it up!!

This is SO after my own heart. If only I had a woodshop... Very nice!

Love the shape and the happy orange fabric. I think I would vote for the buttons.
