concave surfaces on adjacent faces of table leg – how do I do this?
I’m trying to create a table leg that is tapered on the 2 outside surfaces (the inside 2 surfaces are plumb). I want these faces to be concave surfaces. I can start with an un-tapered leg, draw the desired curve on one face and then use push-pull to create the concave curve on one face. However, I can’t repeat this process on an adjacent face because the push-pull tool is constrained by the first curve so it won’t work. I am most appreciative for suggestions of how to do this.
Thanks.

Instead of using Push/Pull, use Follow Me to cut away the waste on the two sides. If you are starting with your front, left leg, draw the curve on the right side of the leg. Select the front and left edges at the top or bottom of the leg, get Follow Me and click on the face on the waste side of the curve. You can see this sort of thing in the video for the blog post here. At around the 3:15 mark I show taking off the inside of a leg but it's the same idea.
