Abstract
A method of fabricating a tapered elongate structure in which a polygonal tube or channel cross section member is cut lengthwise and at an angle to its longitudinal axis to produce a plurality of similar segments of tapered shape. The segments are then arranged in an abutting or overlapping relationship and bonded together to form the tapered elongate structure.
