I could see doing this if the legs were smaller in diameter but this thickness....

Hi Brian, I would guess that the leg is band sawn and carved..............It is striking..................Regards, Rod.

He could have cut the two mating areas on a CNC. It would be relatively easy.

Looks like a simple lap joint to me.

That is impressive! It looks to me like the dark leg curves outside of the plane defined by the outside faces of the straight legs and then goes back in. The striped leg looks like it curves the other way. So, it is possible that there is no lap joint at all. It would be really cool if these were nesting, so that one bench could be lifted out from the pair.

I recently made a fiberglass downspout for my rain gutters that spiraled around the corner. It replaced a conventionally made downspout that unfortunately had three right angle connectors and was clogged with debris when I took it down. I laid the fiberglass over a form and then split and rejoined it. The way I created the form could be used to create something similar to the table legs. The forms could then be veneered or used as a model to carve/shape the final legs. Essentially what I did was cut some scrap wood into thin sections (I used 2x4's) and then strung them on two plastic cords (weed wacker string). This gave me something similar to a string of flat beads, pierced through the flat sides, that I could twist into the final shape. I then used glue and plaster to stiffen the form. A bit of sanding gave me the final shape.
