Hate to ask this but have you allowed for wood movement in glueing what appears to be a 24” headboard into the rear leg? The headboard will want to move but dominos will not allow that
Hey Simon - The posts get an oversized mortise where the most outward two dominos meet, allowing about a cm of movement in either direction for seasonal movement. Those particular dominos don’t get glued, they just float. But you’re right, if they were glued and the mortises weren’t oversized, yikes!
Nice build.
Thanks!
