Hi All
Im hoping to leverage the collective knowledge here on the creek for my upcoming project. First some background - I am starting to build a coffee table and two end tables, design originally developed by David Marks, the tables include AMAZING waterfall Bubinga veneer panels wrapped in a maple apron with maple legs. The leg profiles are what I am struggling to understand how to make, below are some pictures from the plan that I ordered from the Marks website, the pics show the top profile of the legs: (cropped to avoid any copyright issues)

The specific thing I am struggling to figure out is "how" I can put the rounded profile on the outside of the legs? These legs have a curved taper (from top to bottom) on the outside edge as well. For the curved taper I plan to build a sled with the profile and register the legs on the inside square side with stop blocks and hold down clamps. But for the rounded portion on the two outside edges I am stumped on how to make this consistently for 12 legs... please note that I am simply incapable skill wise to use hand planes for these and not to mention I am 100% sure I could never do it consistently on all 12 legs. I have all major and minor power tools so dont let tool selection limit your suggestions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
