I'm looking for advice on which way to taper short 16" tall curved coffee table legs. The legs will be cut from 8/4 X 8" x 18"oak.
The taper will be on the 2 8" wide face aprx 3/8" taper on each face than I'll cut out the radius/curved shape after face is tapered. I could the taper it on a band saw or a jointer. I've never used a jointer to taper & wondering if an 18" long board may be a bit short & it would safer to use a band saw ? My jointer has helical head and leaves a super smooth finish so I would have very little sanding using the jointer but don't want to find out the hard way the jointer is not a good choice.
Thanks
