Does any one know of a resource for table leg profiles, particularly dining tables circa 1850? The sort of thing I am talking about is 6 inch diameter and very heavy looking. I have collected a few poorly detailed photos, but these legs seem to defy the normal, graceful, country pine profiles. I want some authenticity.
Anybody out there been there and done that?

Thanks, but that is where I collected the poorly detailed photographs. They are also all at an oblique angle which makes it difficult to define the detail.

Any other ideas?
