Legs cut to short

[Michael10101]

I was in a hurry to finish up and well.... I cut the legs 1" shorter than the plans called for.    I had plenty of scrap and so I cut an extra block and using epoxy extended the leg.  I have plenty of extra to recut to the right size now, but the glue line is pretty obvious.  I tried again and still got a pretty significant glue line.  I was thinking about cutting down just below the glue line essentially making a giant tenon and then cleaning it up w/ a shoulder plane and then applying a thick veneer to at least two of the sides that are going to be easily visible.  Is this a viable option or does anyone have any better options?

Can you alter the plan to leave the chair 1" shorter?  Also, what about some feet inserts in the bottom?

Sounds like an opportunity to get creative, and truly make the chair your own.  Consider things such as putting a contrasting wood there, or some trim pieces to cover the glue line.  (Or both!) Think outside the box on this one, but avoid if it all possible making new legs.

Inlay on the glue line.  Not quite typical of the Morris chair style but If done tastefully, perhaps with a not very contrasting color - just a perpendicular grain, it could easily hide the issue and add a point of conversation.

I would make the leg extensions out of a different type of wood with a contrasting color.  I think it might look pretty cool actually.

My instinct would be to do what bgreenb says. Putting a contrasting wood on all four legs as a "foot" might be a cool option.
