If you fillow Chris' blog he pretty much goes through the whole thing with photos.
He also runs a (Japanese) Carpentry Study Group where among other projects they made a quite elaborate TF sawhorse.
Personally, I feel both of those horses were too fussy to work on (though Chris does use his); the French horse was IIRC originally conceived to be a showcase of joinery and not necessarily practical.

It's a matter of diminishing returns, really. If you need new horses, the way that we recently did, you simply don't want to put the time and the stress into complex joinery when you can stick with a traditional TF layout and create horses that are capable of being used as jack stands for our CAT.

I asked about the 50x200 Walnut (2"x8").
They said $97 per meter, which I believe is ~23 AUD/board-foot. Or ~17.50 USD/board-foot.
Maybe that is not too bad, but it would be an expensive exercise.
