Selecting the Knee Carving and Making the Table Frame

It has been a busy two days, I studied the knee carving and made a blow-up so I could see the detail.  After all that I decided that I did not like the design.  So, I have decided to use one that I already had a plaster cast from Mary May.  I checked with my wife and she gave it the ok.
I milled some stock 13/16 x 4" for the table frame, laid out and cut dovetails.  I made some table buttons to hold the top to the frame and then cut a grove for them to fit into.  Then I glued up the frame.
Tomorrow, I am going to carve a leaf on a practice leg to see how difficult this one is, I have carved knees before but it has been awhile.

So here is the video:
