One of daughters is asking me to construct a small console table for their entry hall and is pretty adamant about the colonial style of the legs.
Picture of what she has requested...
This table height is roughly 29" tall, 42" wide and 14" deep. I have been looking on the Web for colonial style legs that would foot the bill. Most turned legs I have come across in this length are generally anywhere from 2"-3" thick. I am thinking that these appear to be around 1 1/2" thick at the top square end.
I have even looked at stair balusters as an option, but we go to the other extreme. Standard square end balusters are around 1 1/4".
(I would give a go at turning my own, the length exceeds my Rikon mini lathe bed length.)
Anyone have ideas for a source for these? (I even checked out the local Habitat store in hopes of getting lucky on a recyclable table to steal the legs from .... no luck.)
Thanks
Wayne
