LOML wants a headboard constructed of live-edge material. I've had a couple of 13" wide cherry boards for several years that will probably satisfy her desires. Here are pics of the boards with another narrower board.
LOML wants the entire length of the boards (8') used for a queen-size bed. I'm thinking of arranging the boards as shown in the first picture, planing the boards to 3/4" thickness, using ebony butterflies across the long split areas, filling the splits with ebony shade of epoxy, then flap sanding the ends of the boards to maintain the original shape but clean up rough edges. I'm open to other suggestions if you have any.
