The Federal slant top desk I'm building has French Feet. They're one of the things I like best about the style. I've wondered for years how they are done, but I never found any good written instructions on the procedure. A friend, who is a much better woodworker than I am, taught me how; and I've applied the lessons to my desk. I'm pretty happy with the outcome. Here are some photos:

Thanks for the compliment. The process is fairly long. I posted lengthy descriptions of it on both WoodCentral and Lumberjocks with lots of photos. I think they put everybody to sleep. They generated very little interest, so I thought I'd spare WoodNetters and forego the long post here. If you're interested, here's the link to my post on Lumberjocks:

Very inventive technique. I never would have guessed it was made that way.
