nice plank. Looks like some 5/4 chunks in there that could be saved from the wood stove.

I have made queen ann legs before with a spoke shave and band saw but I bought these tiger maple from tablelegs.com in VT. Huge time savings... I brought one leg with me to the yard in Bristol to match the wood... another trick is to bring a small hand plane with you when you buy rough planed wood to get a better look at the grain pattern

Another excellent source of top quality table legs is osborne wood products.
