Finally fixed this bedhead that has been sitting in the container and storage for over 10 years. A bit of work fixing the damage and picking up pieces from Ali Express to gold leaf. The King size headboard made from an old door. A bit of filling, plywood and trimmer with more carved pieces from Ali Express for the inserts and painted two tone cream.
