   I would glue two pairs of sides together first, each making half the leg. When they are dry, joint the mating faces on the two halves and glue the halves together.

   Use test stock until the angle is correct.

   Lay out mask tape sticky side up, then lay out the four pieces,edges touching. Glue up and roll up then tape together.

   Bob,

   What you are trying to accomplish demands well tuned machines that are cutting dead on accurate and meticulous stock preparation, anything less will cause a lot of frustration.  You don't give details about how you are cutting the stock so it is hard to give a more specific answer to your question.

   Bob,

   It's a bear for sure.

   The one and only time I ever had to do something like this, I used a #7 jointer plane with an old Stanley fence that attaches to a bench plane and can be set at just about any angle, acute or obtuse, to the sole. 

   Once the edges were straight the fence made it pretty simple.  I jointed the edges with my #7, and then roughed in the angle with the same plane before I used the fence.

   I guess if I had a mainly-machine shop, I would saw it as close as possible and then use a plane.  It's not difficult to make a fence that will attach to a plane with c-clamps.  Using a plane you can go slow, taking off just a whisper at a time.  I kept my combination square handy and checked my work after every two or three swipes.
