My daughter wanted this for her new apartment. Looked at acouple and came up with the design. The legs were 3×3 cherry blocks 20” long. Couldn’t decide what to do and started to do columns but came up with this. Wanted somthing a little more delicate.

excellent work. Your daughter will be proud. We have four boys, all still pretty young. I look forward to the time when they get married and we can have some femine appreciation around here.

That’s a beaut Mike. Seems to have a little Asian influence in style. Thanks for sharing.

They are kind of like Queen Anne style legs, but end in a squared foot. They to highlight the sideboard.

Asian influence? Didn’t think think of that. I made the legs with the bandsaw. Used my router circle jig and placed it far enough away to get the top of the circle (the elipse) onto the chunk o cherry. Made a template from 1/4 ply. Fliped the cherry 90 degrees for the second cut. Looked a lot more complicated than it was. By the way, I haven’t mastered mortise work so the entire project is with a Kreg pocket system for joinery except for the door frames. They got small biscuits. The Kreg system is so tight the apron and base frame look as if they were mortised. All the frames were made that way.

I love pocket screws… I will learn other types of “Real” Furniture making joinery as time goes on and I get more familliar with real equipment.
