Abstract: A method of manufacturing moulding and like finishing strips or other types of millwork components. An embodiment of the present disclosure includes manufacturing an intermediate component strip having multiple profile faces. The intermediate component may be coated with a primer or paint coating. Following the coating application, the intermediate component may undergo a sanding operation. After the coating application, the intermediate component may undergo a sawing operation, thereby resulting in multiple strips, each strip comprising a profile face. In embodiments of the present disclosure, two or more lobes are joined by a thin web, each lobe comprising one or more profile faces. In a sawing operation, each lobe may be divided and the web may be removed, resulting in multiple strips, each strip comprising a profile face.
