Caroline,
Those ends, tips, contoured places can be left till the last or even done later. Right now I'm concentrating on repairing the functional and mechanical parts of that cabinet. Once I get it back together I might be able to see from the assembly what it should look like. Until then, I keep looking for pictures.
If you see any fancy 5 drawer treadles on eBay or CL let me know. We'll find a pic eventually.
