Crazy legs


Finally found a couple of hours to work on this piece, which has been dormant for too long.  The walnut framework is inspired by a simple game, a friend, Tim Thornton devised.
His initial idea invovled starting with an equal section peice of timber of ramdom length. The aim is to try and get the two ends to meet (or as close as possible) by making cuts, then turning section through 180 degrees and gluing, then making another cut, turning 180 degrees and gluing..........and so on.
I have not tried to meet the ends with this, but have used the process for my own purpose.
