In part two of the series on Calvin’s desk, I concentrated on the legs. When designing the legs, I initially started with a cruciform shape looking down from above. I liked the side view of an inverted cone. I then gravitated to a wood turned cone. The design evolved into a English walnut segmented section on the upper two thirds and a solid black walnut section on the lower third. I made two of these cone legs for the project. One will be under the left side of the desktop. I cut the other in half. Each half will be along the right side of the drawer box. This will give the desk three points of support.
