How would put the beaded profile in these legs?

I want to build a writing desk with legs in this shape. I cannot think of a way to make the beads in these out of a solid piece of wood without a lot of carving.
I was thinking of laminating three bull-nosed pieces to save me from carving.
Ideas???

You could make a scratch stock https://g.co/kgs/mcX8R2.
FWW has had articles about DIY scratch stocks (Might have been Garret Hack).
Otherwise, You could laminate layers to get what you want. Based on the picture it looks like you could make the legs in five layers. A couple of templates would help you get the shape and route any edge profiles you need.
Based on how thick that stock is, and the darkness of the finish, I would think that laminating three beaded pieces might be a good option.
