Amazing what just adding a dovetailed box does to take us away from the Jacobean panel chests. At the same time extending the leg posts up through the case made huge strides to creating a lighter appearance in the Queen Anne.

I hadn't recalled seeing them on W&M before, but I don't know my styles well, so I figured maybe it was a late adaptation. I actually love bracket feet so I'd me more inclined to stick with those anyway.

So, if you lengthen the proportion and put a cabriole on it, you're solidly in Queen Anne. Not that you cant do it, of course, I'm sure it would a beautiful adaptation.

I do love those little ball feet, but until I buy or build a lathe its good to know that there are other appropriate options.CPGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837051340562689877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458866935778172402.post-44842099895269468222013-01-16T08:49:38.977-05:002013-01-16T08:49:38.977-05:00Thanks for the kind words Chris. If you don't ...Thanks for the kind words Chris. If you don't turn, you could always do a simple bracket foot in place of the turned foot. It would be a little "later" in style, but would still be appropriate. After all, the pieces didn't always show hard and fast differentiation between characteristics. A bracket foot would be fine looking on a slightly later desk, and this desk could Zach Dillingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04253489360440424953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458866935778172402.post-85186809280386645942013-01-16T08:42:47.691-05:002013-01-16T08:42:47.691-05:00Love what your doing for the next build.

Looks like I need to find a way to do some turning.<br /><br />I need a new desk so I'll be checking back here to see your progress. My will need to be something smaller yet, more like the standing desk CPGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837051340562689877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458866935778172402.post-64569850676454367892013-01-15T11:11:27.483-05:002013-01-15T11:11:27.483-05:00Thanks Bob!
