My son wanted me to build him a table for his new chess set, so after some thought, with the chess set being a bit fancy I decided on cabriole legs which I had not yet attempted and something I wanted to try. They are challenging, time consuming, taking lots of patience, and I loved every minute. Used white ash, Early American stain, and a Tung oil finish. This is the first time I have used Tung oil on a project and I really like the finish, easy to apply and gives off a nice hue to the stain.

Hi Doug,
This is a beautiful table. The cabriole legs add a nice detail to the project.
Thanks for the post.

Great looking table, love the legs and the detail, the legs make me think of muscle cars, them legs look like muscle. I really like that look.

Great Legs! (whistle whistle…) Nothing says first attempt about it. I’m assuming a big band saw for the curved cuts?

Very professional. Your work is excellent – a real craftsman.
