The table can be easily repaired and the patina restored if no equally old wood is available. No one can see the difference if they don't know. I know what I am talking about and love to save good things into a new generation. F* IKEAYour post has obviously aroused my curiosity and I am dying to find out what exactly you consider ‘the unique characteristic of the “Frangipani” ’…
While I am flattered that somebody would deem the odd contribution of mine to have been inspired by a revered forum member temporarily keeping a low profile (that’s at least what one poster in another thread had surmised) or suspect some posts to have been commissioned or even crafted by someone from the Brainchip team itself, it would be dishonest of me not to disclose that those of you who imagine me to be an alter ego of or at least a channel for others are in fact barking up the wrong tree.
I hate to disillusion you, but I am actually nobody’s mouthpiece, simply one of many amateur players in the Brainchip Big B(r)and’s trumpet section, constantly in awe of my fellow musicians’ in-depth knowledge of music theory.
I am afraid you are thus also mistaken about linking me to that legendary three-legged stool.
I am, however, in fact currently the owner of a not-so-sturdy-anymore three-legged table, after one of the four legs of our vintage dining room table made of Indonesian teak literally gave way out of the blue a fortnight ago, when one of my sons got up from the table after dinner - as you can see, I’ve propped up the tabletop to support it and very much hope that a carpenter will be able to (affordably) reattach the broken table leg somehow, as I cherish this beloved piece of furniture that has served our family so well for almost a quarter century and even moved to another continent with us. Lots of happy memories are attached to it. I wouldn’t want to trade it for any other dining table in the world.
Sometimes the true value of something cannot be measured in monetary terms...

Oh, and to save you super sleuths some further futile dot-joining, here is yet another disclosure, in case anyone has ever wondered: despite my TSE username, I have no connection whatsoever with the AI company Plumerai that has come up time and again in this forum. If you are scratching your head now, wondering what I am alluding to, have a look here:
http://www.allthingsfrangipani.com/frangipanis.html
I guess otherwise I would have called myself Frangipain, Fraingpani or even Fraingpain instead to emulate the word play on AI. Or simply Frankipani (KI being the German equivalent of AI). I quite like that one, actually.
Nope, I simply love frangipani trees and the scent of their blossoms, whose beauty is, alas, very short-lived and thus reminds us to seize the moment - carpe diem.
P.S.: I am also not the Germany sales rep of Australian-owned Bounce Rubber Bands…

And esq.111 has even already provided you with a drawing even if I myself would put something higher exactly in the transition. And then a square and not round pin or dowel. The caving goes with 'Stechbeiteln' or chisels (?). A good carpenter knows this. I have a cabinet from the 19th century that has been completely reworked without it showing. A masterpiece of the cabinet and the restoration. Ready for the next 1.5 centuries. At that time, one did not use nails and screws would not exist.
I hear you with your picture and appreciate your contributions!

And the tree of your name is very beautiful even if I do not know the smell yet. But our botanical garden will open my nose for sure.

As you can see the pen, but not round but angular. And at the mark I would start with the plan and cut it off. Then attach the new leg. Patina can be made as I said. But it is best to use wood that is just as old. But does not have to. No one recognizes that.
Or you can have it done with 'verzapfen' don't know the word in English. Then it must be milled (?). The new leg then fits rotationally symmetrically in the counterpart depending on what the carpenter prefers.
esq's way goes just as well or even better, of course. I would be worried that it would happen again because the wood is old. I described it in a more complicated way but the table would break anywhere but never again at this place/location.
