Default Fluted Legs

That table is massive..! Must have functioned as a kitchen island.. But
those poor little feet.. They have their work cut out for themselves..
Amazing how something as simple as fluting can soften, add texture and
improve the look of what otherwise would be boring wide straight legs..
Nice work.. as usual..



Thank you.

The table top is 36" high, kitchen counter height. I don't recall this
being the rage at the time but it is now pretty common to see kitchen area
tables this high. It's intended use is an eating area but as you mentioned
it would make a great work area also. IIRC the feet are as wide as the
legs, I think the black legs makes the bun feet look some what smaller.
They don't look quite so small on the bottom picture where the legs are
still the same color and as usual when you view square legs from an angle
they look more massive. The top is 42" square and there was only 29"
ckearabce between the legs. The customer did not want the feet to protrude
so that they would not get scared up from the chairs.

Had this been intended simply as a work island larger bun feet would have
the way to go I think.
