Shape for bottom end of all legs and top end of headboard legs

Trim end of leg here, and then sand to shape

1 /2" waste removed from top ends of all legs. Bottom ends are trimmed flush before turning

FULL-SIZED END PATTERNS

HEADBOARD ASSEMBLY 63'W

TENON DETAIL

60" (shoulder to shoulder)

FOOTBOARD ASSEMBLY

Use a gouge to turn the cove where the leg taper meets the unturned portion.

3 Using the dimensions on the Leg Patterns drawing on the previous page, turn each leg to shape. Remember, there's still a V2" of waste stock on the top ends of each leg. (We used a wide skew for the tapered portions and a X A" gouge for the coved areas next to the kerfs as shown above.)

4 With the leg still mounted to your lathe, sand the turned areas smooth. Stop the lathe and sand with the grain to remove any cross-grained sanding marks.

5 Using the Full-Sized End patterns for reference, turn the top and bottom ends of the leg to the shape shown on the drawing. Sand the leg smooth. Remove it from the lathe and use a dovetail saw to cut the waste tenons from the top end of the leg. Using a palm Sander, sand the top of the leg smooth and to the shape shown. Repeat for each of the three remaining legs. 6 Using a Vi" chisel, and being careful not to mar the wood surrounding the filler block, chip away at the filler block to open the mortise. Repeat for the other headboard leg.

Let's form the headboard and footboard

1 From W-thick stock, cut the rails (C) to size. (We planed 6/4—referred to as six-quarter stock—to the stated thickness.)

2 Using the Tenon detail accompanying the Headboard Assembly drawing at left for reference, cut a l%"-long tenon on each end of each rail (C).
