I was inspired by the steel firepit log that [MENTION=52]sameltoe[/MENTION] made so I'm using his idea to make legs for a black walnut slab I found in the shop. Here's a few pictures of what I got so far:

Amazed how you 2 were able to make smooth round tube so texturized and actually resemble wood/logs

How much time goes into a log-leg?

Thanks. It was actually pretty easy. Its just a whole bunch of weld beads & some steel bar stock cut into short slugs. The legs are .125 wall 2.5" tube & the braces are .080 wall .75" tube:
