Quick question. Has anyone successfully carved a claw foot leg. If so, what technique/process did you use?
My next project is going to be dragon display table with (I hope) dragon claw legs (black walnut and maple accents).
I have developed an STL pattern but I am unsure it is the best way to go (long term stability and strength). My other thought was to build a cutting pattern for three of the side (front and sides) and to band saw the back where you don't need the detail. I am looking at about 4" across with ball and claws, 4" deep and about 12" tall. This technique would need a sled which so far I have sucked at.
Thanks.
