You could do it yourself if you have a hand planer a sander and some elbow grease
True enough, but just moved into a new city into a condo, so access to my tools will be sketchy at best, need to get as many things pre-cut and planed as I can! Looking forward to more pics and awesome job Steeevo, thanks for there inspiration
Found a carpenter willing to sell me a 8 inch round pole, hollow in the middle, 30 inch piece for $150 CDN. Could cut it in quarters for a nice 4x4 piece. Did you pay much for your piece?
I paid 45 pounds for 1.2m length 6 inch square, it was poplar/tulip wood which is easy to sand and gives a good smooth finish when painted.
I thought $150 seemed pricey...but the hollow centre would be nice to help run cables if I wanted to put them down a leg as you are doing. What ticked me off more was the original price he gave me was $225...and that was because he was charging me $25 each to do 3 cuts!
DONE IT EVENTUALLY!!!! HERE IS THE FINISHED ARTICLE

Nice finish on there! Is it a flat black paint or a laminate? I'm still working to find a cheap curve. Someone suggested I take a piece of MDF and kerf it for the bend.
No its gloss, it looks like a mirror finish, i will take some better pics soon, these are just a few pics from the party so not very clearQuote:
