5 Panel, 90 yr old door converted into a King Size Door Headboard.
Our Customer had an existing piece that they wanted us to match. We used oak for the crown molding and top shelf. We hand-scraped the top of the shelf then added several layers of finishing wax. The front of the door was sealed to preserve the natural distressing.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
I have an old door I want to use for the headBoard. My door is not thick as the 4 x4 post. What did you use to make the door as thick as the post?
My question is I want to use the 4x4 posts and put old 5 panel door in between it with cap posts on top. But not sure how far up a 6' 4x4 I should go for a queen bed.
