Because this wood is both rare and expensive ( as well as being very old) I tend to start the process in photoshop, virtually carving away to find the shape and dimensions that I am looking for before I touch the saws, grinders and sanders. It also gives a chance to think about bases and how to attach them. Here I was considering a solid clear acrylic leg which I liked but the base material was not thick enough to safely contain it.
