Bob Sprague, of Bytesyze Studio, is the master of making detailed furniture models in DesignWorkshop.
I believe his technique involves a combination of PowerCADD, DesignWorkshop, and the online machines for DesignWorkshop, especially the Lofting Machine.
I think he creates the individual polylines in PowerCADD, arranges them in DesignWorkshop, lofts them with the machine, and then assembles the various objects that make up a piece back in DesignWorkshop.
It is very fussy work and can take a great deal of time to get everything just so. Thankfully Bob makes his models available in PAKs which can be purchased from Artifice or Bytesyze Studio.
You can preview the models included in the various PAKs by pointing your web browser to:
