table leg & cable outlet
By FlorianMeigel|BY-NC-SA 4.0 License|Updated December 8th, 2023
For those who are interested in wood-bending-techniques and alternative cable outlets made out of solid wood, I recently completed a Shaper Origin supported project.
The base could also be used as a base frame for a piece of furniture and is conceivable in any other type of wood.
Instead of the plastic version, I tried to design a simple outlet made of wood, which definitely enhances your office table optically.
