Next up... saw kerfing

With the pieces all glued together, next it was time to shape the pieces using a technique called saw kerfing. This involves running the table saw over the piece numerous times, each time adjusting the blade height to create the desired shape - in this case 125 saw cuts (and height changes) per leg! And about 6 hours in the machine room.



What you are left with is a series of grooves that then have to be planed out by by hand.



From here on in it's all handwork....
