Coffee Table - legs

The legs were designed in conjunction with Peter Baldy a colleague at Australian School of Wood in Dwellingup. Together we designed the shape of the legs but he changed the shape a little. Not sure the curve is quite right......I will leave that up to the viewer.
The shape is based on a sea shell, curvy form, but it's actually been squashed some so it's not really round but more a tear drop shape. 
The leg shape was drawn, then drawn out on a grid so Malcolm Harris our lecturer could enter this into a computer  and cut out on a CNC machine. This was then refined a little more by hand. I think one part of the curve is not quite right....maybe a little pointy. The legs also have to interact for strength which is different to how we first envisaged. We had the legs running parallel with the table top which would have facilitated the need to have some structure joining the legs together. This would have detracted from the look of the table I'm sure. So rather than do that I will triangulate the legs so they come up into the middle of the underneath of the table to support. Which I think will be a very nice design feature as well as giving strength.
