I think I might spy Bondo being used to smooth the surface of the rail? It's a great product for woodworking, and we used it a lot when I worked as a painter.

I'm curious as to where you got the idea to use a door for a headboard. My youngest daughter is moving into her own place this summer, and a couple weeks ago she asked me if I could make a headboard for her out of an old solid wood door.

Is this an idea that is making the rounds in the woodworking/designer world, or simply a coincidence?

Anyway, nice vision and job.
