I've been fiddling with this model for a couple of days now, working from images on the 1stdibs.com web site. Almost done.

Nice start

... my parents always taught me, "Do not do things by halves"! - If they only knew
could you do that shapes with follow me alone?
As your great model is almost finished - will we see a rendering as well?

That's very nice, David. I'm excited to see the completed version.

All, here's the completed version.
The model turned out to be easy. Once I traced over an image to get the front leg profile, I was off. The crest rail and all the other curved elements were done with the Follow Me Tool. The rear leg is identical to the front leg at the top, so I just copied and rotated it into position, then changed the bottom part to add the curve. (I'll confess to leaving out joinery, although I can always add that later.) No rendering yet, though; I have to decide whether to update Shaderlight for SU2016 or get a different rendering program.
Many thanks for all the good words, and best wishes for a Merry Christmas and prosperous New Year.
