The back legs of the chair are curved and must be made the same regardless of the number of chairs made. It is convenient to make a template for this.

For the first part about the project, see link

When marking the legs, you should pay attention to the texture of the wood, so that it is, if possible, along the leg.

You can cut the legs along the markings with a jigsaw or on a band saw. The marking line must be left on the leg.

The template was glued to the leg blank on double-sided tape.

Pieces of double-sided tape are placed over the entire template.

Since I only had a short cutter at the time, I did the machining in several passes.

First, I milled with a template.

Then he removed the template, turned the workpiece over and milled it with support on the already finished part.

If there is a cutter with a lower bearing and a working part height of more than 40 mm, the legs can also be prepared according to a template, but without using a device.

I propose to look at the manufacture of chair legs and the use of this device in video clip.
