RE PURPOSING A GATE LEG TABLE
I just wanted to share a little project I finished up ...
I turned 1 antique mahogany gate leg dining table into 2 gate leg shabby chic console tables.
I added a few appliques to each table, and I added some paint layering so it looks
like they have been painted a dozen ties over their life span.

WIA11 The Maloof Leg to Seat Joint w Charles Brock
I had the intention of writing up every class I attended at WIA. Though that didnt quite happen, I did manage half of a class description for the first class I took. This is a quick review I wrote while in the class.
Charles began by addressing the issue of Maloof inspired. Hes right when he says hes continuing a tradition and creating his own (beautiful) interpretations.
The focus of this class is how Charles joins the legs to the seats. He uses a rabbeted notch joint. Its a similar point to Maloof, with Charless own way of making the splay.
The class was lively and Charles is a warm and friendly Southern Gentlemen. The class served as a good primer to this useful chair joint. If you know the joint already, the class is a bit repetitive.
And no, he doesnt sell the hat.
