A course in the French splayed foot

 

The proper method of construction of this splayed French syle foot can engender a vigorous debate among period furniture makers.  PFW takes the mystery out of this attractive foot as we teach you to tackle the joinery and curves of  the feet and lower rail.

It is perhaps this group of details which most remind one of the designs of George Hepplewhite.
