Hi,
I'm looking at making a table similar to what is shown here:
French Style Parquetry Dining Table - Double Baluster Supports, Olde Finish, Tables, Designer Furniture Melbourne, Sydney (http://www.timelessinteriors.com.au/french-style-parquetry-dining-table-double-baluster-supports-olde-finish)
French Provincial Dining Table - Extension or Fixed Top, Tables, Designer Furniture Melbourne, Sydney (http://www.timelessinteriors.com.au/french-provincial-dining-table-extension-or-fixed-top)
French Style Parquetry Dining Table with a Modern Twist - Single Baluster Support, Tables, Designer Furniture Melbourne, Sydney (http://www.timelessinteriors.com.au/french-style-parquetry-dining-table-with-a-modern-twist-single-baluster-support)
Whilst I don't believ I'll have much problem in putting together the table top, I believe I will run into problems with the legs. I'm not to sure whether the missus will want 2 turned legs or 1 on each end, but I have no experience in turning at all. Can anyone give some tips/pointers on how to proceed with these? Is there somewhere in Melbourne (or Australia) where one can purchase turned leg posts for such a project?
Also, when it comes to the leg bases/feet, can anyone recommend a solution? ie maybe purchase, or purchase a carved/shaped corbel that can be glued to a more geometric timber underneath.
And finally, in regards to the joining method of the turned posts - how would the be attached to the rest of the table top?
Any ideas/pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks,
JK
