Reclaimed wood furniture is growing in popularity these days. What's not to love? Reusing old wood for furniture is environmentally friendly, looks great, and adds character to any room.
That said, not everyone has easy access to reclaimed wood. So how can such a person get this look without resorting to tearing down their neighbor's barn? By imitating the look. In my case, I had a lot of scrap wood left over from other woodworking projects and I did not want to waste them. So I built my fiancé, Anna, a headboard out them. This post shows you how to construct a reclaimed wood style headboard from newer, cheaper pieces of untreated lumber.
Tools
Step One - Plan and Draw Out Headboard's Layout
Step Two - Dent, Damage, and Distress Each Piece of Wood
Step Three - Measure and Cut Each Board
Glue and Screw Your Headboard Together
Step Eight - Glue and Screw the Headboard
You're done!
