The Industrial-Organic Table: A Lego Gear Creation

When I made the Lego gear table a couple of months ago, I only made three legs for it thinking it would work like a three-legged stool. But it was pointed out, and it is kind of clear now, that the Lego gear has four quadrants in its design and having three legs is a little odd. So I've made a fourth leg. I've also wanted to play with sculpting in Blender (modeling software). This was a good opportunity to make something more interesting than just a cone shaped leg. I used Blender to sculpt a leg with a ball and claw foot. I glued up pieces of the same maple that I used for the other legs to make something with a large enough diameter. I cut out the leg on the 4th axis on the CNC machine. Then I finished up the ends on the lathe. I like the juxtaposition of the biological leg next to the industrial look of the Lego gear. It feels a lot like pieces put together just like Lego.
