Queen Anne's Legs Bling

as promised I played with QA legs today and added some bling.
First up was a radius profile of the outside.

Once I had the right height all the legs were profiled on the outsides.

Next I decided to add some internal support .

When I cut the 45 Deg angles for the glue up I had various pieces of triangular offcuts.

So sorting the off cuts into the best possible grain match I ended up with this.

Applied glue and used some spring clamps to hold the sections in place.

here is a close up of the result.

While the glue was setting I filled any defects with Filler.

Using my trusty pull saw I trimmed off the excess and sanded the legs to a suitable finish.

All looking pretty nice I thought

next I guess I will have to stain them with Walnut, Cherry, Maple or Mahogany to fool even the most critical antique furniture critics !!!!
