So I'm building a fancy bed for a customer out of 8/4 and 4/4 alder, rustic stuff with filled in knots.
The headboard is a whopping 4 x 10' thing. Im debating knotty alder 3/4 ply or gluing up eight 6" boards of 4/4. Since these boards need to be ten ft long I'm really hesitant as this would be a big time drain at the least or a big snafu at the worst. Going with plywood would be much easier, of course, but would not be an exact match to the character of the rest of the bed. Thought about this would be greatly appreciated.
