Tools may need a sharpen. Even though cedar is soft, it works much better with a real sharp edge.

Not to worry, the only one that can put them together and compare them is you, once you have them on opposite corners of the table nobody will know and if they think they do tell them it's an illusion.

second one yes
if you can't shave hair you can't turn with them!
very true about when they are apart! I'm not making the the table though!

hi chuck1,
they look good to me!!!!!!!!!
just one question ,,,why make ''4 x RED CEDAR TABLE LEGS''
if you are not making a table ???????????
cheers smiife

my mate has more motivation than me, so when he asked if I could turn some legs I said ok!

nice legs! Some seriously good spindle turning there.

Good turning and a beaut replication of the old traditional style legs!!!

Well done chuck1. The legs will be put to good use on a colonial style hall table. Not in a great hurry but will put some shots up when completed in several months.
