dominoes for the posts to the panels. The top caps will be applied with dominoes as well to the posts and panels

Very nice! I just finished a platform bed for someone. Let's just say that project made my head hurt a little afterwards. They wanted a certain amount of space underneath for storage, drawers in the bedframe for storage and don't go over a certain overall height.

The frame you built looks great, craftsman style, I assume qtr sawn white oak? What size dominos did you use to attach the frame rails to the headboard?
