To rough-in a mortise, first drill at the ends of the layout, then bore holes every 1/2". Finish up by drilling out the stock between the holes. ence marks to their proper diameter (see center photo, previous page). At the reference points between the beads, leave the turning a little fat so you can cut deeper with a skew chisel later. Once the reference points are cut, use a small gouge and rounded scraping tools to shape the vase and the coves (see bottom photo, previous page). Trust your eye to create evenly rounded rings and smooth transitions. Remember that like an antique, part of this table's charm is having legs that aren't perfectly matched. When the leg is fully shaped, reduce the lathe speed to its slowest setting and sand with 100-grit paper to remove any tool marks, then use 120-grit paper to smooth the surface. Drilling the Mortises On many old furniture pieces you'll see marks at the bottom of mortises left by center point drills. In keeping with the craftspeople of yesterday, follow this same method. Arrange the legs in the order that suits you, and label them for each position for the next level? ** Berea Brand Pen Kits!
