A Good Day For Carving

I have made some progress on the table. It is cold and snowy here and I have got the shop warm. So it is a good day to be indoors.   I cut 3/16" grooves in the corners of the frame and fitted one leg.  It fit good, so the next step would be to carve the leaf pattern on the knee of each leg.
I cut out the pattern of a full leaf, but it was difficult to trace on the knee with carbon paper.  So I cut it in half and trace the outline on each side.  Then I drew in the veins.  I did a practice leaf on an old cabriolet leg that was laying around in the shop.  It was a good warm up.  Now I have on leg carved.  Three more to go.
So here is the video.
