A Krenov leg, as James made one, begins as a square blank maybe 2x2 inches, and is marked on two sides with a gentle inside curve, then bandsawn. Planes, spokeshaves, and scrapers finish it.

I'm paring down all the power tools and the 14" Delta bandsaw is sold. How does one go about cutting a Krenovian leg with all hand tools?

I thought marking it out, then carefully cutting with a saw every inch or so to just shy of the line, then going at the blank with a large chisel, running downhill, might get most of the waste away. Never cut the saw kerf away.

Then the spokeshave.

But what would you do?
