One problem with legs is that the quartersawn side (with the fine grain) looks great, and the flat sawn side (with the cathedrals) looks ugly. I sometimes cut a veneer from the quartersawn side and glue it to the flatsawn side to make the leg prettier. It sounds like you have a great opportunity to solve the grain problem when you glue up the blank for the leg.

With big aprons like that, I don't believe you will need stretchers.

Thanks Charlie. I was planning on cutting the square so the seam ran front point to back poit (clear as mud? :huh:

) so the grain patterns would match on each side.
