House Legs

Moving on to the little legs for the low table today. Those are the items with the house shaped profile lying on the bench. I will cut tenons onto the side parts for the table, I just tried out the joint cutting with some of the scraps from the table tenons. The weird shape is mainly because I wanted to get all the legs out of one larger piece and this was the only way to get a reasonable grain orientation to bring some kind of pattern to the outward facing side. Lots of shaping once the joints are all done.
The first table top is still in its clamps.
We had some very heavy rain last night and a few electric outages, the neighboring town looks like it had a hard time, they were just finishing up tidying away the mud and driftwood from where their river had overflowed its banks when I drove through to reach the station.
