Table Legs

[Greg Heppeard]

I know I don't turn as much as I would like, but I'm making a small table/desk as a surprise for LOML. The top is white oak left over from some other projects and I'm going to paint the legs and skirt. I started the legs out of some leftover 12/4 maple. Here's the first and start of the second. No patterns to follow, so it all came from my head.

Looks really good Greg! Hate to see you paint the legs... but I am sure they will look great once the project is completed! I am sure the LOYL will be thrilled with the table! Nice work!

[Jim Becker]

Good work, Gregg. No harm in painting the maple. (unless it's figured...) In fact, it's an excellent choice for this kind of table base...hard, smooth and strong.

[Tom Sherman]

Lookin good thus far Gregg.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Great looking work. They look really good. Well done.

[John Timberlake]

Looking good so far. Just need to make three more like it - that is when viewed from 10 feet away and they are at least three feet apart.

Don't I know it. Got the second one done and it kinda looks like the first...2 to go. Should have them done today.

I normally don't like to paint wood either, but I think in this case it will look better. I'm mixing qs white oak for the top and really think a painted chassis will look better...I'm constantly rethinking tho. One of the hazards of not using plans.:)

Nice job on the legs.

[Curt Fuller]

That's going to be a nice looking table. And pulling the design from your head makes it even better and unique.

[Ben Gastfriend]

They look great. Mighty good job duplicating (from what I can see) the pattern. Will make a great table!

[Greg Heppeard]

OK, just finished turning the last leg. I think they match close enough.

[Dennis Peacock]

Excellent job on the table legs!!!!!!!!!!!!!


If something like that comes from your head? Then I want two copies of your head. :rolleyes: :p :D

If you would like to see the finished product, I posted it in General

Maple is the perfect choice for table legs, and plain maple has about as much pizzazz as dishwater. Paint on Bro!:):)
