Cutting a tight curve on a thick bit of wood, with a bandsaw.

[Ed Weber]

These canopy supports were cut on a bandsaw from 2 1/2" pine and didn't need a touch of sanding or further shaping, but they were done on a huge bandsaw with a blade like a G string by a foundry pattern maker.

"didn't need a touch of sanding or further shaping," is a bit subjective.
