Kneeblock is partially shaped using paring chisels and low angle block plane across the grain. Next is the rasp to shape the concave bottom of the curve.
After sawing out the profiles I clamp the legs in vise to flatten and fair the faces with block plane, rasp and spokeshave. Once the faces are fair and still square the corners are worked toward round.

If I want to assemble this table without glue, the leg-to-rail bridle joint needs to be very tight. I spent quite a while fine-tuning the joints and have a pretty good fit.
I am working on a desk, similar to one a PBK. You can see the leg detail at the PBK link.
I am trying to figure out how to make a routed profile across the leg. The closes thing I have found is the Freud Ovolo router bit.
I am open to suggestions and ideas?
I have been asked to build a Queen Anne style table that has cabriole legs with ball and claw feet. see drawing in maloof side chair completed thread. There was a recent article in one of the woodworking magazines for which I subscribe that describes how to carve the foot and it appears...
