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.

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.

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. 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.

With all good wishes,

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