Pub table – looking for ideas on the feet details?
Apr 10, 2019
This is one of a pair of maple bases the feet measure 18”x4”x3.5”high I plan to 1/4” or 3/8” round over the edges, but am not sure of what other detail I could preferably route into the sides and or tops of the feet?
I have started a 1 degree taper on the sides that I imagine softens the otherwise very square shape of the feet, so that the round end is 3-7/8” wide tapering from 4” at the column.
The column will be 2” shorter and could be turned to round.
Any suggestions would be appreciated! I just don’t yet see a way forward 🙂

The thing that boggles my eyeballs first is the hexagonal column against the 4-sided base. I think your idea of turning the column round would help a lot.
Also the column and base look sturdy enough to park a truck on. Think about ways to make them look less massive. I know the marble top must be heavy, but you could get away with more delicate-looking base parts. Maybe cut a longitudinal piece out of each foot so that it would be two parallel feet--same length, but not so much material. (Hard to describe) Hope this helps.

I love the simplicity! I believe adding anything would make it too busy, too hard on the eyes.
I don't care for the idea of a round column. Way too conventional for my taste.
If it was mine to change, I'd stain the outsides of the feet or every other face of the column a gentle red (like the color of padauk or redheart) to offset the white without being overpowering.
