Cabriole Leg Sawdust Session

I for one, would vote for a Sawdust Session on true cabriole legs. I've read many articles, but seeing them actually take shape is something different.

(Nick, thanks for clearing this up. You confirmed what I suspected.)

I too, would like that, but then I will like pretty much anything that you want to do. Even when I can do the operation that you are demonstrating, I can still learn new techniques from watching you. Image

I agree, a Sawdust Session on cabririole legs would be good. I'll bet quite a few would get enthused in doing this. Also such a session may help to inspire confidence that, "I can do this too!". As a side in the session, maybe you could tell us the correct spelling.:confused:

Chuck,

I think I started the spelling confusion. Spell check changed my Cabriole to cabriolet, but I believe cabriole is the correct spelling. Interesting enough though, Merriam Webster doesn't recognize this as a word. I'm guessing because it's French.

While we are at it, is it Queen Ann or Queen Anne? I believe it's Anne, but I'm not positive.

Naw! My spelling problems have been around for at least 68 years. That's about the time I reached 2nd grade.:o Don't know about Queen Ann(e) either. Anyway, at my age, every day is a celebration!!:D Can't worry about spelling too much! There a a lot of simple English words I have trouble with, let alone French. For example, Why is sugar not spelled shugar? (no answer required)

Cabriole. Queen Anne. Mississippi. Just in case you were wondering.

What would a "Mississippi" style leg look like? Maybe lots of knees bending back on themselves?

:D
