I am building a trestle style table for my sister and she has requested a leg style similar to these. I am using 8/4 alder to laminate the large pieces of the legs but was curious if anyone had any advise for making the vertical section of a leg like these. I am debating between laminating the full size of the leg and then cutting out the shape of the leg on a bandsaw. Or gluing on the round shape to the legs as 4 individual pieces with mitered corners like trim.
Second question. I plan to use a double tenon on the leg into mortises on the "foot" of the leg. Does anyone see anything wrong with this?
