I'm looking to create a farmhouse-style round pedestal dining table similar to the one shown below. I really like the detail of the vertical indents that run along the base, but I'm not sure how that could be done, other than by hand? I'm not very good on the lathe, but I imagine you could (a) cut down the rough profile, then (b) drag a cutting tool (with even pressure) across a length of the piece, as long as you're registering against a good support that runs perfectly horizontal? Or is there an easier way to accomplish this? Thanks!
