"Can you make me 4 like this ?" was the question.
I made a drawing and he supplied some Sapele, so here goes.
I will post the pics when I am finished.

Making them like the sample piece of cake like the drawing use a pattern from the measurements a lot easier. Mate of mine a pro turner made the first one then set it in back of the lathe then free handed the rest we mortals use a story stick for a pattern trust you get through this OK Don.Might still be some live ones in the sample mate.

@ Ted, I think he is a bit of a perfectionist :funny:
@Derek, I was wondering that myself :thinks:
I have roughed out the first sample and it is useless.
The Sapele supplied is 95mm square and the original is 100mm on the large diameter.
It looks terrible and I have told the guy to come and have a look but he would rather try and source some 100mm plus wood.
I will see what comes up. :nooidea:

Good luck Don. I think you'll find a set of darts will help make the small hole once you have turned the feet :thumbs::funny::wink:
