I am searching for a more human, natural or organic look. At the moment I am into this 17th century stuff which usually is far from perfect. I've always been more a fan of the prosaic. The upper floors in a well preserved mansion can be kind of boring while the kitchen downstairs is full of life.

The legs of my table are simple slabs. They look too skinny from this end while they look nice and meaty from the side. What if I had used stock twice as thick and had made them tapering, narrow at the top and wider at the bottom? Maybe even with a bit of a sweep towards the bottom?

Most people won't recognise if something is handmade but they do see if it is different.

And the handmade nature of M&T in very old stuff is often very obvious with tight shoulders on the outside but gaping on the inside and marking gauge lines all
over the place.
