Yeah as others mentioned you are going to pay for those legs. The idea about going to a local turning club is a very good one. Anything above that and you can (and should) buy yourself a used lathe and a couple of tools and turn them yourself. Since they will be painted expert turning wont be required.

+1. :yes: Those legs would be easy to turn. Getting a used lathe, and a few tools would be a great start. Do some practice pieces, and you'll see how easy you can get the hang of it. Years ago, I bought an Asian import display model for $65. One leg will cost more than that. I wouldn't use any kind of wax at all. I would use a film finish as discussed.
