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. For the finish I would use multiple layers of milk paint on the base followed by tung oil and then wax; for the tops I would go with Waterlox Original, about three coats if wiped on, maybe one more if necessary.
