I’ve bookmarked that Schwarz blog and will give that a test using the plug cutter I have before scaling up.
The table is only a foot high so unlikely to have feet resting on the rail.
I have toyed with the idea of a stainless steel rod but not sure if it would meet design approval.
Andyp wrote:Bob, your idea had crossed my mind too. Would take me an age to fabricate though. Making the convex curve along the top of the rail would be straight forward enough but the concave curve underneath
Malc and Andy
I really think a rail would look neater than angled or even curved struts.
I’ll have to do a mock up when I get the top made and see how that looks.
It’s a shame that I have more time to think about this than actually getting on with it.

Your idea looks much better.

You will get full credit Malc, dont worry.
Have you tried cutting one your CNC yet

I totally agree with Roberto - a wee bit of relief carving is definitely the way to go matey!
In fact, with the size of your legs, you could quite comfortably do the work with a block plane, maybe a spokeshave and then some paring work with chisels - a bit like the plaque in you rather lovely settle.
I know the above plaque was one-sided and is slightly different to your legs, but you could easily implement for both sides. Time consuming, but so worth the effort.
Pinch, that is VERY beautiful, superb workmanship. Ian
