This unique pair of Ball and Claw feet were carved for a commissioned wing back chair for a very petite lady. They were carved in walnut and later ebonized.

I don’t know if I could do something like that or not. Not done much carving. You must do a lot to do such a great job on them. Thanks for showing.
