Detail- COR-- • .FRJEZE FRAHE 2. bottom, and partitions are then tenoned into the legs, setting the piecesback as before, and grooving into ends as shown in sectional view. Legsare then shaped to diagram, f. i, from which it will be seen that the sectionof the leg varies in shape as well as size. No hard and fast rule can be laid downfor this kind of shaping, for the correct proportion and feeling necessary are onlyacquired by long experience in this work, but, in the case of carved or intricateshaped legs, a pine or whitewood leg is generally prepared, which serves as a model, and is moulded until the shaping is de-finitely settled. When shaped, one end is then inserted between the legs, and cramped to-gether dry, with the top edge marked out to shape, as shown in plan. The ends curved in plan are recessed into a panel, veneered and finished, with the addition of small mouldings mitred round the angles. This can be effected by building up the end with three thickness 4-in.
