Corbels and Brackets

On the bench there are these peices 2 brackets and 8 corbels that give it a classic look.  These peices are mainly for aesthetics but they are still important and were very different from anything I had done before. For the corbels I printed out the plan to actual size and used the diagrams they gave to make a stencil out of Masonite.  For the brackets I had to free hand because they didn't give an actual size diagram.  Next I cut the shapes roughly on the bandsaw and then touched them a belt sander for the flat surfaces and a spindle sander for the round surfaces.
