I had a nice block of oak mounted on my rotary axis for the last few months. It was waiting there until it decided what it wanted to be.
Inspired by a discarded pedestal table that was saved by a member of another forum I asked the oak board if it would mind being the center post of a pedestal table similar to the one shown in that thread. It excitedly agreed and here are a few photos of it's progression from a squared block to a fancy contoured table post.

Dovetail cuts were done as X/Y/Z pocket and profile toolpath after the shape was flipped end to end for access to the bottom end. Flat surfaces 120 degrees apart all got a pocket clearance cut followed by of profile on-the-line dovetail bit undercut pass.
