Table leg

[pallin]

This is a single table leg or pedestal that I'm working on. It supports a movable table in our RV. The wood is red oak, 2-1/4" x 24", mortised into the base and the table bracket. The pattern of chip carved oak leaves is adapted from a Wayne Barton design. I've started at the bottom, and have only done a couple of the leaves.

That will look great when it's finished, Phil!

Nice project, Phil. Looks like a good design, and will be a fine execution, I'm sure. It's nice to have a piece that's functional as well as attractive.

Nice! That will be a nice addition to your home away from home!

Re: Table leg

A very attractive design! I couldn't imagine what your RV must look like if it has hand carved and designed furniture pieces.

Re: Table leg

Light and graceful, almost like gunstock carving. Nice job on the design and carving. Mike

Re: Table leg

Looks great so far, I love the fluid shape of the leaves and the berries as well.

Re: Table leg

Thanks for your encouragement, WCI friends. I had started this project several years ago when I replaced a breakfast nook setup with cabinets and a partially retractable table with chairs. When there's just the two of us, the retracted table is perfect for two. But if we have "company" it can seat 4 or 5 quite nicely. The table is supported on expansion rails from another old table, and the single pedestal that I'm carving.

Debbie: As you might imagine, most of the existing wood in an RV is not good for carving, although the door/drawer fronts are red oak.
