Hi bradleyheathhays! Have you tried searching for salvage yards or shops that restore antique furniture? They frequently carry an assortment of vintage chair parts that may be just what you're searching for. If they're not readily available in stores, you might think about doing some woodworking or even asking bespoke furniture makers for tips on how to construct your own. I hope your project turns out well! -

Find a place that’s accessible and not adjacent to the possible fire source. -
Thanks for the update. I'm going to try and put this under the sink or in the pantry cabinet right behind the stove so probably won't even use the bracket. -
Having carved the edges of the corner posts, next it was time for the faces ... First I wanted to continue the bead from the edge onto the face. Unfortunately the largest scraper I had for my beading tool was too small. However, I did have the perfect size blade for my plough plane. Obviously the plane can't be used on this complex curved edge, so I made a small jig to hold the blade as a scraper. Unfortunately the scraper jig couldn't get into the tight corners, so I ended up using the blade as a chisel, with gentle taps from the small mallet to finish of the grooves. Then with the grooves cut, the bead was rounded over, some pattern carved into the face, and the corner posts are ready. I used a few dowels on the posts to keep them aligned during gluing, since it wasn't an easy geometry to clamp
