Hi,
I am new to this forum and am really excited. I would like some advice help direction, etc.
I would like to build the table leg as per the image attached (BMP file) but don’t know what they are called or how I would go about constructing them. If you have any information I am open to all answers.

Thank you,

It looks like it's made up of a lot of pieces laminated together. I think it would be best to tacke the leg in three parts, then assemble them afterwards. Laminate stock for the curvy "leg" and cut it out on the bandsaw - cut the two opposite sides, then tape the offcuts back on and cut the other two sides. Cut the square "ankle" on the table saw, or glue several squares of wood on top of each other. Laminate stock for the foot, cut the top curve on the bandsaw, and glue on the bottom (looks like a 2x8) and the pads.
EDIT: Oh, and welcome to the forum!

Don't take this question in the wrong way, please.
How much woodworking exp do you have?
Also how is your shop set up hand tools, or lots of machines, or a comination of both?
That is a challenging piece.
