The sides of the uppermost part of the leg are kept flat so that the aprons can be joined to them. Many cabriole legs have ears which continue the curve of the leg to the apron. These are cut separately and attached with glue and staggered dowels. When the leg blank is cut, the ears are joined and shaped along with the leg. After cutting the template from thin stock, sight along the curves to spot any dips or bumps and use a cabinet file to fair these out into smoothly flowing lines. The shape of the foot should also be carefully filed. If the foot or knee is to be embellished with carving, the template should allow for extra thickness at these points. Because of the cabriole shape, it's usually difficult to secure a piece of wood large enough from which to cut a leg. For this reason, legs are often cut 2MJTJWCM6- IS £>H "THIS SIPE^, the.buck cam bc wwimamo IN VARJiJOS VUA>3 from blocks laminated from two or more boards. Smaller blocks can be glued at the top and bottom to allow for the flared knees and feet, in which case, the patterns are traced on the two adjacent sides that are flat, with the knees facing away from each other. Although cutting these legs is not difficult, it's a good idea to try one first with a piece of scrap stock so you can familiarize yourself with the process. Before tracing the template on the block, be sure that the faces of the block are square to each other. The template is placed on one face as shown, so the upper flat (where the apron will join) is aligned with the edge of the block. The template should be slightly narrower than the block so that the cutting lines do not run off the edge at the knee or ankle. After tracing on one side, transfer the template to an adjacent side, producing a mirror image of the leg (the illus tration shows the knees facing each other but they can also face away).

Mortise layout can be tricky unless a trial leg is made so that you can visualize from what part of the block the upper leg emerges. In the illustrations, the mortises are cut into the two faces adjacent to the sides that are marked. SHAP6PAREA 15 "TiTP^Sp: LE6 AFTEL^^ui-t^DTS Altei MADE! NWtlSE AFTER SI DE.

The bandsaw with a V< or Vs inch blade, or a bowsaw is then used to cut away the waste portions from the tracing on one side. These waste pieces are then taped back in place on the block and the template is used to retrace the lines where necessary on the uncut side. The second series of cuts are then made on the adjacent side and after the waste portions are removed, the leg blank is completed. It's always a |
