8 Leg Bowl....Leg redo

[johnny.t.]

Well nobody liked the legs on this so I've made some new ones.They are brass turned on the lathe. Amazingly all 8 still contact the floor :lol:

Leg detail

Comments and critiques would be appreciated.

Love the bowl JT but i'm still not keen on the legs.
They are an improvement but look like bullets to me.
Could you put some shape into them somehow :?:

Considerably better Johnny, like to see a similar creation just stood on very fine tapered legs and yet another on a minimalist 3off legs.

Might know you could not resist decorative legs though. :lol:

Johnny, much better.

Hi Johnny,

They are much better. :lol:

I like the decorative work on them, I think it compliments the bowl very well.

Very nice, vast improvements. Tho I too think it would look better with less legs. I bet it sells tho!! 8)

I like it.
A lovely piece.

Hi Johnny,
I didn't comment on the first version but definitely did not like the feet.
Now this change has made all the difference and i really like the new feet and they now compliment the excellent job you have done on the bowl.
Regards,

Hi JT,

This is an excellent improvement and I like the legs very much. The detail is nice and ties in with the texture on the bowl.

Well done.

It is a beautiful piece Johnny, how are you doing the texturing?

[johnny.t.]

Thanks for all your coments I'm glad you all see them as an improvement to the piece.

Paul,whats wrong with bullets? :lol: I wanted to retain the chunkyness of the original legs, they are there to be noticed, that was the idea behind the multi-leg design.

Pete, the texturing is just done with the dremel.

Paint! :lol:

Its just gold spray paint Dermot. For the raised bits I had to spray it in something first then apply it by brush.

I like the bullets, I also like the engraving on them, very effective.
I am sure there is a metalworker in you somewhere, don't own up to it though
