We chose to use […]
Now that the main section of our headboard using RevolutionPly® and RevBead® is complete, the next step is to cut the trim pieces to both frame the headboard and provide footing to enable it to stand. We again used RevolutionPly® plywood for the trim pieces to complete the design of the headboard. Using both wood […]
