Default Candle Stand Bits

My next project calls for attaching three legs (feet?) to a central turned pedestal. The candle stand bits I have show how to do this for four legs on square stock before turning which is simple enough and is the approach I'd like to use for this project, but how can I do it for three legs spaced at 120 degs around the base of the pedestal? Or should I bite the bullet, turn the leg first and then mount the pedestal in a V block to cut the dovetails? Any ideas?
