Hey Rusty...no they aren't bent, they are just shaped from solid wood. I created several patterns, one for the shape of the leg, one for the shoulders of the tenons of the lower rails where they join into the bottom, and one for the curved bridle joint where the top of the leg bridles into the top rail. Then, of course, a pattern for the 'branches' in the middle.

Thanks for the kudos, and for the question!

I always feel sanding is the most difficult part of woodworking.It is like it is silky everyplace but one little spot. Then be careful you don't work that too hard or you have to start over.

If you make your living doing woodworking, you understand this! People who do woodworking as a hobby might have a hard time imagining how much of your time is taken up sanding...or how really tedious and thoughless it is after a few days of nothing but sanding! I actually wear out orbital sanders, and I buy sandpaper $400 at a time. I understand what you are saying... and I find it delightful! :)

Wow! Now that is WAY out there. Sounds like to me your pretty lucky, not hurting yourself by sanding off your ringer tips. You reallly should think about a new hobby. :'-c
