Progress to Queen Anne style table legs.

Looks nice. I'm always curious about how others are creating parts like this. Mind sharing some of your design and milling techniques for this part?

Thanks, Mike

Hi Mike
I used a template given to me for the shape.
Transferred the template to a grid & plotted against x & y values for points along the curve.
Using TurboCAD, points plotted, I created a 3D sequence of profiles, consisting of 2D shapes.
Via lofting function, a full 3D item is created & cut in half.
Converted this 3D shape to STL format, then imported into Aspire.
It took a while

Zowie! Actually, I suspected something like that. Thanks for outlining your process. Lots of skill and hard work there!
