Cabriole legs

[Argus]

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I must be looking in all the wrong places, but I am unable to find information on cutting the blanks and shaping Cabriole legs, particularly sourcing profiles for cutting the blanks to shape prior to carving.

Needless to say it’s a new departure for me so any pointers would be most welcome.

Thanks in advance….

Thanks, Dom, that one had evaded me.

I'm particularly interested in establishing a decent shape to begin with in the form of templates- once I have the blanks done the shape turning and carving is downhill for me.
