>Mack Headley uses a drawknife for rough curve definition on cabriole legs, then refines with a spokeshave. This appears faster than setting up for bandsawing.

I like the laminated blades, whether old (Witherby, Swan, etc.) or new (Japanese).

Mack uses the drawknife bevel up for this task.

If you want to see this done, there's a Card Table video that I got from the Colonial Williamsburg online shop.
