DIY: Table Leg Taper Candlesticks
I was shopping at Lowes and passed the wood section where they sell furniture legs. I spied three lengths of curved traditional legs and thought to myself, if I cut those just right, those legs would make really cool candlesticks.
I bought three unfinished wood legs, one 6? small, one 14? medium, one 28? tall leg. At first, I envisioned making one trio with a 5 inch, 6 inch, and 7 inch candlestick, but after analyzing and measuring, I ended up with six curved candlesticks and a modern geometric set of two.
Above are five of the six curvy candlesticks that made I with all three of the legs, and below is the trio I made with just the small and medium legs.
I?ll explain how this all happened, but first here?s the list of supplies should you wish to recreate these yourself: miter saw; 7/8? boring drill bit; sanding wedge; power drill & drill bits; measuring tape; pliers; clamp set; small and medium unfinished table legs (for trio); large unfinished table leg (additional candlestick trio + geometric duo). Here are the three legs I bought, small, medium, and large, and the boring drill bit I also bought to drill the taper holders.
The small leg and the medium leg form a trio that?s created by cutting the 14? medium leg to 5? and 7? candlesticks and drilling the holes for the tapers.
I didn?t need to cut the small leg, just drill a hole in it. But I did cut the 14? medium leg into two candlesticks, one at 5? and another at 7? leaving a small extra mids...
