I'm trying to learn how to carve a Ball-and-Claw foot. I went searching the web and found three articles in Fine Woodworking: one in issue #10 by A.W. Marlow titled "Ball and Claw Feet", one in issue #84, by Mack Headley, Jr. titled "Carving a Ball-and-Claw Foot", and one in issue 186 by Eugene Landon titled "Carve a Ball-and-Claw foot.

I also have some ball-and-claw pictures from "Master Craftsmen of Newport: The Townsends and Goddards" but that's just pictures and not a "how to".

I know that Phil Lowe has a video but I'm really looking for a text and pictures tutorial rather than a video.

If there's a tutorial you've used that you really like, I'd appreciate you letting me know about it.
