Refinished Solid Oak Queen Headboard – Classic Black with Rattan & Elegant Details

This stunning queen-size headboard is a true statement piece, crafted from solid oak and beautifully refinished in a rich, classic black. It features gracefully curving finials, intricate oval cartouche accents, and a striking inset rattan panel that adds texture and timeless appeal. Finished with a smooth satin clear coat for durability and a subtle sheen, this headboard blends traditional charm with modern sophistication.

My youngest daughter wanted a mounting block for our arena and was lucky enough to have wood and paint on hand to do just that.

First step was to build the mounting block out of deck boards that were pulled off my daughters deck when they built a new one. I love the fact that the wood was repurposed rather then being burnt or buried.
