The proportions are odd, the legs look much smaller than i imagined them.

Also gotta fix the tearout, I'm thinking of just taking like an inch off the overall length when I round the tip, which will remove the tearout in the process

I also don't have a fucking clue how I'm gonna clamp them for the glue-up. I'm considering gluing one at a time and using rubber bands. i dunno, let me know if you've got a better idea

I like the size and ratios.

If you don’t fill the cutout, it could be a window.

I’d totally lean into the cutout as a window. Maybe even carve it out more.

Ditto, I like the length of the body and hope they don't shorten it quite as much as they suggested elsewhere in the thread.

I'll take your opinion under advisement lol

I'm not dead set in shortening it. Realistically, the likelihood of me reducing the length by any significant amount is very low just because of how much work it'll be, and I've got like three days of interest left in this project before it gets abandoned like so many others
