From woodwright/examples/cuts.py, which imports the names it uses (see From an example to your own design):

def tapered_leg(
    length: float = 450, width: float = 40, taper: float = 15, taper_length: float = 300
) -> Assembly:
    """A leg tapered on its two inside sides over the lower part of its length."""
    asm, board = _board("tapered_leg", Stock.board(thickness=40, species="oak"), length, width)
    for side in (board.back_edge, board.bottom_face):
        board.cut(Taper(side, end=board.left_end, amount=taper, length=taper_length))
    return asm
