you mark it out in pencil then take the first pass with a hand saw rotating the lathe by hand and then take chisels to it to finish it.

There’s specialty machines for turning things like that but you don’t need one to make a few table legs just practice a bit and you’ll suss it out lickedy split. .

Hint: The way to get the hand saw to cut the exact depth you want is to clamp two little strips of on either side of the blade back from the teeth the depth you want. A gent’s DT saw is ideal because the blade is narrow. That saw cut is your depth gauge as you chisel. You only want to remove it not deepen the cut appreciably.
