ABSTRACT:
A method of fabricating a furniture leg is provided which includes the steps of providing a substrate having a thin covering and routing the substrate to provide an outer peripheral configuration having a top side, a bottom side, a left side, and a right side, wherein the top side and the bottom side are each generally straight and converge. The method further includes the steps of routing v-shaped cut-out regions that extend through the substrate, but not into the thin covering, in a substantially straight line from the left side to the right side. Angled surfaces are mitered on the top side and the bottom side. Finally, the method includes the step of folding the substrate having the thin covering about the v-shaped cut-out regions into the elongate article.
