DEAD COMPRESSOR renates headboard

It all started with this 70s oak headboard.

Okay maybe I jumped the gun here, I suppose it really started with a drawing of a headboard.

So back to this headboard.

Every element of it was dismantled with a robertson driver.

Many of the pieces were cut to fit the new configuration.
