The following is part 1 of a photo essay on a rustic and a little bit twisty red oak hall table build.
Composing
Roughing out the leg spindles
Cutting the tenons to width
Establishing taper with a gouge
Breather, almost there
Leveling out with a jack plane
Down to size with the spoker
After shaping with an angle grinder and hand sanding through many grits
Leg # 2 at dawn
Side by side
Composing again
About 11 days left and a lot of work to go
I love seeing the progression with this piece. Great photos! <<>>
looking good Jack. I’ll be watching close on your attachment method for the legs. I’m mighty jealous of all the nice looking local hardwoods that are making up your wood-rick.

Thank you Mike and Tyler. Tyler, I’m honored to have your voice and attention. I have got to make some decisions about those legs today.
HI Jack – what a great piece of artwork to start the day – just incredibly imaginative. Looking forward to more photos and you may be sure I’ll share this far and wide! Kyle
Looks great. Love the design! yaakov….
