The green and wetter end of the M4.
Not wishing to hijack Bobbys Kitchen thread, but looking at the nice round corners would I be correct in assuming that they are created either by profiling on a spindle moulder or by being turned and split? Or is there a cunning and simple way of making ones own? or simpler still, are they available to purchase off the shelf? I had a quick google but didn't find much.

I have similar in my kitchen. Only needed 2 so just drew the shape on the ends with a compass, took the bulk off over the planer then down to the line with hand plane. Bit of sanding and job done.

I've done them both ways, but now do them always on a spindle. Much more accurate and easier to do longer lengths, no hassle of paper joints and splitting and cleaning up afterwards.

Lovely job.

How do you take the skirting profile around the bottom of the curved section once that has been formed on the spindle?

I make the curved posts 50 x 50mm and the knuckle at the bottom is 70 x 70mm and join them.
 
We have a howdens kitchen with rounded corners - about 4" radius which appear to be solid MDF - presumably pre-formed to that shape in a long length. Obviously not an option for the amateur. Looks nice but isvery heavy.
