Ok, I've done some searching, but haven't seen a clear solution yet. How were cabriole legs cut before bandsaws?
I can look at the wood removed and imagine bow saw (giving me an excuse to hunt for one), but wanted to check if someone has experience with this and the recommended tools. My next project will include an attempt (four or more attempts, lol) at cabriole legs, and was curious.
I could imaging other ways to arrive at the curves, but would require a large amount of clean up.
