I'm beginning the build of a Seymour Side Table similar to the one Rob Millard shows on his site with turreted corners and have a few questions on the construction. The legs are turned and run up the side of the table case.
My understanding is the legs are not attached by mortise and tenons but rather the table sits on an inset edge cut out from the leg. The inset cutout is filled with light stock using a paper glue joint when turned as to avoid tear out. Is this the correct manor of attaching the legs? Is there any additional information on how these type of outset legs are attached?
Are the leg diameter dimensions available for this type of Seymour side table. I'm have 8/4 stock available, but need to know whether to purchase 10/4.
I've seen several reproduction versions of this table each with different inlay veneers used. Does someone have the Robert Mussey book to confirm which woods are used? If someone could attach pictures from the book that would be appreciated. I would like to purchase the book but it is too expensive.
