Repairing Gold Crown Legs

I picked up this Gold Crown I for nothing but the major problem is one broken leg. All the wood slats that make up the outter curved part of the leg are missing (see pic). The other pics are of the other leg the way it should look, even though it's in rough shape itself.

I guess I could just try to copy, cut and sand the wood to the same size and shape as the other leg but what a chore.
Anyone have any idea how to repair this leg because I couldn't get the replacement wood slats for it?

Thanks

Where did you pick that table up from....out in the rain?...that leg has been water soaked.

Wow, did the guy from Axmen pull that out of a swamp?
 
I wish it were left out in the rain. This table was in a smelly damp cellar in the ghetto of New York. I'm sure it sat completely immersed in water during floods. It's actually worse than it looks on these pics.

If you think this leg is bad look at the rest of it.

Here are a few more pics of it's grotesque condition.
I'm determined to bring this table back from the dead.

Have you checked the rails for straitness? I haven't seen a single part in your pics that looked like a keeper. This will be a definite for the " before and after" section.
