To Chamfer or Not to Chamfer

I've never cut chamfers before. Instead, I usually sand the hell out of edges to soften them. But I've always like the modest chamfers on my brother's furniture. While reading the manual for my new Shopsmith jointer, I discovered I can set the jointer fence at 45 degrees and cut chamfers.

Seemed easy enough, so I decided to give it a try. I tried to keep the chamfers on most of the pieces less than 1/16". However, on the legs, I cut them a little deeper. I'm hoping it will give it a nice subtle elegance.
