Are you speaking of cabriole patterns with turned feet? If so, you might try my favorite turning book, The Practical Woodturner by Frank Pain. It's back in print, I believe. He shows the basic layouts, jigs and cuts. You supply the length and curve.

I have several patterns for the cabriole legs and also a video but its hard to find straight leg patterns for a tavern table. I have done some useing the trial and error and I came up with mostly error. Barry Bruner

Perspective. You have to take the time to look at tavern table legs from above once in a while. :p

No suggestion except to get to a picture and proportion out what's pleasing. Bit of dividers work after allowing for perspective change.

Barry, check out Stucky or mission patterns just google it and see what comes up, I did some legs for a Harvest table and thats how I got the idea for turned / mission type leg.Check the Van Dyke restorers catalog for ideas, they must have several dozen type victorian, etc legs I use it for period hardware , it has two tons of ideas and authentic shapes etc.
