re: Headboard, with weathered and worn appearance.

Thanks for the kind comments all, much appreciated.
I've been interested in hand tools for some time. When my children were young we stopped at Colonial Williamsburg, VA once, viewed this living history museum and in the woodworker'  shop I was in awe with the accomplishments of the gentlemen there. All using old traditional tools to create items of beauty.  Amazing.
So, I wanted to do same, still practicing today.
Thanks.
