      Yes the feet were done separately. On bird tables I see at work it varies . Some feet are different to others. I put the grain vertically in this case to differentiate them from the cross pieces.

      I think you are right though. It`s not something most people make a point of noticing.

        If I were building something like this, I wouldn't make the feet with the grain running vertical. They'll wick up moisture and rot more quickly. Of course maybe the manufacturers do that intentionally with the thought that folks will buy another one when that happens. πŸ˜„

          Believe me when you see some of the poor quality wood they use, preventing a bit of moisture is the last thing on their minds! πŸ˜’
