With a 200# table top resting on legs of that nature, I'd want the client and his/her attorney to sign a damage waiver. ;-)
It seems to me that the interlocking spirals pretty much eliminate the usual long-grain structural integrity of the leg, so one is left with only the shear strength of the side grain within the spiral cross section. While that could be scaled up enough to regain sufficient strength, the scale might then look odd.
my thoughts exactly, just looking for other opinions:)
thx
