The link shows a modified form of Chicago Bar Rail.
When I've made this in the past I cut the bird's mouths while the
stock was still squared up, using a canted setup of the dado head on
the tablesaw.
I used a molder for the rest of the profile but the same could be
accomplished by using the tablesaw to cut the cove and running the
rounds with shaper or router cutters.
You will have to do a little fancy hand sanding to blend the cove into
the rounds and I'd recommend buying stock long enough to do the whole
run, including the returns, if that is possible - because it's easier
to get a nice miter when the profiles come out of the same stick, and
the grain blends together nicer.
