I'm putting together a small dresser for my mother in law and I'm trying to work out a good option for the feet.

I just skimmed through Rockler but didn't see anything.

What do you guys use for feet? Make your own or buy from a source?

Can you share the sources?

Thanks

Joe -

i have always made my own. What style are you goihng for?

I have used two mitered pieces on each of the front two corners. Cut a profile in the side of each to go along with the rest of the piece. The back leg is a single decoartive piece with a brace on the back of the cabinet.

Also have made Queen Anne style feet cutting the coves on the table saw and finsihing of with rasp, scraper amd sandpaper. Walnut one has no finish on it yet (long story don't ask).

Bun feet - turn on the lathe.

Good Luck,

Ted
