The only thing i can come up with is to start with a long mitre on the edges, use a jig to cut a 45 degree dado on each corner, then inlay the edges/feet?
My concerns are:
- I can't use splines on the mitres, they'll be visible.
- I'll be cutting most of the mitre joint away, leaving very little glue surface.
- I'd have to glue in the feet/edges cross-grain, so the glue will probably fail with wood movement.
The upside is that this is an urn (i guess that's not an upside for everyone involved) so I'll be gluing the lid on, which should provide some extra stability.
Just been thinking about this a lot because the feet really bug me somehow. I think it probably is do-able as other people have mentioned, but also, are you sure this is a real box someone made and not AI-generated? I hate to have to ask it, but these days... and man, why don't the feet visibly support the box? I guess it could be inlaid... like I said, I don't think it's impossible. Just odd somehow.
