table legs??

[its_virgil]

My neighbor is repurposing an old table. He bought new table legs but cut them off and discarded threw away the bottom 15 inches and brought them over to see if I wanted them. Little did he know what was inside them. Two down and two to go.

No hesitation at all even though they are made from glued up stock and are pine. Good practice material before starting on a nice piece of timber.and, they were already round.

Absolutely AWESOME, Don! I love the table legs. It's gonna take a pretty fancy table to compete with those beautiful legs!!!

Thanks Andy, but I didn't make the legs. They came from one of the box stores. The two goblets were made from the other two leg cut offs.

Oh, I thought you just returned the old battered up table legs down and was making a smaller table! Beautiful wood! It is maple or what?

They sure DON'T LOOK like pine in the photo!

That's pretty cool turning. Is he getting them back?

I may return one of them. Thanks Greg.

DUH! I was thinking maple and pine came out the ends of my fingers. The legs were made from glue up stock. Thanks Andy.

Nice job on the goblets Don.

Now that's some nice recycling. I like them, you'll have to show the other two when they're done.

Beautiful work on the goblets. The stems put the fear of God into me. I can just see the bowl flying off just as I put the finishing touches on and then,... well you get the picture.

You're getting good at this stuff!

Thanks Bruce! I am trying some other things and having some fun. Not too busy at work during Dec so I've had a lot of shop time. But, pens still take top priority...love making them.

Thanks to the others who posted. I appreciate the good words. I will be sure to post what I find in the other two legs. I think i I see a matching pair of candle sticks.

Nice looking use of the table legs. I get them, table legs, from a salvage place here in San Francisco. I get them for about $3 each and they are made of all kinds of wood. I like using them and making creative things out of them. I look forward to seeing what the other two legs become.
