Ontopic Working wood for fun and profit

[Mr. Argumentor]

So, @kiwi, @Domon, @Jehannum, @anyone else who does woodworking

I'm looking at turning this into a low bench. What would you do for the legs for this? I will be leaving the curve of the bottom of the log in place, I won't be planing it down or anything. The tops of them are already cleaned up more, but they'll still look "rustic" on top and on the outside.

To be clear, whatever you come up with I can already guarantee that I won't be following it solely because of the way I'm going to be making this, but I'm looking for an idea or an image of it. Y'know?

 

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

So you want us to provide you ideas to ignore?

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

No, I'm not sure how I want to design the legs, but I won't be making them out of wood. So no matter what the design is, I won't be following it other than visually.
The image is what I want.

 

[Jehannum]

Trestle legs work well with rustic aesthetic.

Just be prepared for that wood to move (twist and check, at the very least).

Weld together some iron, make something that looks like it should be next to a fireplace.

 

[Jehannum]

Also for a bench, you should route out some fart vents.

Better yet, a drain for when you're about to fart but you're pretty sure it'll be a shart and you just don't feel like getting up.

Tongue and groove, with a dovetail flourish.
Fuckall if I know what any of that is.

I vote some sort of tuned fart resonance chamber.

Then he'll have to model it in solidworks, figure out how to get the wood into the CNC router, and line it in carbon fiber.

It'd never get finished.

Sounds like a good master's degree project then.

I can't see a single f'n pic in this thread.

Might get better suggestions if you tell people what you are making them out of instead of what you're not.


I suggest old crank shafts, preferably of equal length, and some upsidedown pistons for drink holders.

I'm looking for more actual woodworking style designs. Something like old church pews or some such.

Nope.
What I'm making requires a mold, so I can make quite literally anything I can make a mold of. The design, the look is the important aspect of this, not the material, not the method of construction.
