Cool. Looks like an early colonial design. I am eagerly awaiting my lathe that has been on backorder since October.

Nice work. Is that odd leg on purpose or did you notice it? :-))

Sweet job,
I’m confused on the “four way taper” you mentioned for the top. Did you taper the seems? if so how?
I REALLY like the grain pattern on top.
Also is the beading integral on the sides. how did you make the side details.
Also Is the joinery mortise and tenon?
