Please, normaly, what I appreciate most in the piece is the legs.. I like a lot "pé palito"... I don't know how to say it in english but like when the legs seems like toothpick. When it's cylindrical, start "big" and after narrow... it finish thin. The legs is like a funnel like this picture... What kind of expression do you use to it?

Thanks

Igor

Tapered - Conified
Butted?
I like to use ?conificado? (in Spanish), Is used specially for industrial metal factories (tables and chairs)
So conical is the shape and would conified the process to make that one?
,,Conified,, is is founded in link below, as well as Tapered (Thanks hudsonhonu!, as you said!) as well as butted.
