Drawer Flexible Moldings

My question is that the office desk is rounded off at the end and the leg which supports the desk will round together with the desk now I want to put on it molding to give it a richer look how can I make my molding become flexible.

You could create the curve using a bent lamination or you could saw the curve from solid stock. With either method it's best to shape the molding profile after the curve is created. Sawing a curve creates weak "short grain". This method may not be practical depending on the radius of the curve and the length of the molding. To make a bent lamination you'll need to first construct a bending form with a radius that matches the top to which the molding will be applied. If possible, the easiest method is to shape the molding profile on the edge of the curved top.
