    Smiife, you ought to be ashamed of yourself. You put up a picture of a gorgeous work of art with legs that have no explanation of what they are....... To me they look like thorns. Are they, and what tree did you get them from?

    I personally think the brass knobs detract from the top. The lid and finial work real well with the rest of it. .......... Jerry (in Tucson)USA

    Hi Jerry , yeah , sorry about that .....
    The legs I would describe as tusks , just carved them myself and painted
    them black , the "tusks" where going to come up through the top of the burl
    But that didn, t go as planned , so had to go to plan B
    Thanks for your comments
