C.S. has inspired me to try making some staked furniture. I didn't have any Oak, red/white or otherwise in the wood pile but I did have a hunk of Hard Maple of the correct size for the legs. For the seat I found a piece of Cherry with a kinda live edge that was big enough to use.
Here is the jig/leg holder I'm using to shape the legs. I've two down and the third in the jig is about 80% shaped. BTW, shaping Hard Maple is work .

I'll finish this one and the fourth leg before going to the lathe to do the tenons.
