Mini-Chinese Horsehoof Feet


Gustav Ecke's book on measured drawings of Chinese furniture has a great shot of a horsehoof leg.  It is the frontispiece before the Plates section.  I referenced this to make a template, cut it out, and traced it on 5/4" oak stock.  With a belt/disk sander, spindle sander and band saw, I shaped these legs.  They will be the four posts connecting the sides of a small wooden box.
