What do you mean legs? You haven't made the tabletop yet! That's just a raw piece of wood.

you know wht i fucking mean.

I am using that as tabletop.

use a small stump, single leg with a wide base instead of 4 legs.

something that wouldn't draw too much attention

I would either use some wire legs or tapered wooden ones

well the standard hipster legs these days are hairpin metal bolt on legs.
what kind of look are you going for?

>>1012542
op here
Thanks i really like the wire legs!
Ill look into that

I want a contrast in the table
i am afraid that if i use wood for legs, the tabletop wouldnt really stand out as i want it to stand out.

You should build a middle section with some storage option connecting to two feet a little longer than the width of the tabletop. So:
>tabletop
>middle section, storage
>feet

I would even put some nice corner molding on the middle section and feet

Want a big contrast- the darker timber with a highly polished, machined and geometric could be cool

Course the downside is no one can really see it down there. A centre cylinder with a flat base could also work and be a lot less work

I think a single leg wood look good. What I'd actually do would is get a 4x4 or some 12/4 about 18 inches long and make width and thickness symmetrical(like a perfect square looking down it) and then gently wrap copper sheets around it to give the illusion that it's a round leg. And then do the David marks thing where he corrodes the copper. Google David marks patina and it should show up.

I just went ahead and looked it up. The feet of this bench are what I mean. Those are copper sheets.

Get the 4x4 and maybe knock an inch off each corner so its an octagon, then plate that up.
Sheet leaded bronze is also a really nice colour, but it can be pricey at about $20 for a 30cmsq piece thats about 0.5mm- plus after awhile it will patina by itself.
