Unfortunately, no. The legs just arrived today, but they're terribly flawed. Open glue seams, glue seams that stand proud of the wood, a shattered foot that was badly repaired, and the need for HOURS of sanding to remove milling marks make them an utter failure. I've reached out to the company that made them.
They're pretty, though.

Maybe they sat in a warehouse, unfinished, for too long.
Drawing and releasing moisture

That design might be asking a bit too much from the wood.

Nah. It's just a turning. They just did a crap job of it.
RE: Daily Bench Shot - ®smpr_fi_mac® - 03-21-2023
Update:
Will be receiving a refund for these legs. At $770 shipped, I expected them to be ready for finish, as described.
They aren't.
So my customer has decided on some exaggerated curved cabriole legs instead. I'll start building them next week.

But here's one of three leg assemblies for a big trestle base for another customer.
RE: Daily Bench Shot - ®smpr_fi_mac® - 03-31-2023
My bench is too small so I'm beginning assembly of this 89.5x49 trestle base on the floor.

In the process of remodeling my shop. Everything's a mess!

Maybe disarray would be a better word. None of those machines in the picture are where they are supposed to be. Most of the crap is piled up on the other side of the shop. I gotta get rid of some stuff!

I just noticed this. I haven't shopped for pre-made legs in a whole long time, but that seems excessive. At least.
