I haven't figured out how to make the crown at the top of the leg.


Todd,

Make a full size pattern of the leg on paper. Trace it onto some
hardborad or thin plywood and cut out a template. Place the template on
one side of the blank and trace the pattern. Turn the blank so the
pattern you traced is either facing left or right (depending on whether
the leg is upside down or right side up) and trace the pattern again.
The patterns should meet at the corner of the blank. In other words,
don't trace them on opposite side trace the pattern on the adjacent side
of the blank. Cut out one side on a band saw. Tape the pieces you just
cut back to the blank and flip it onto the adjacent side and cut the
blank again. That will give you a rough cut leg with all of the curves.
Then choose your weapon -- spokeshaves, rasps, scrapers, sander, carving
chisels and shape the leg.
