Default Cherry baseboard



"Jim Bailey"
I just finished a cherry vanity and mirror for our newly remodeled
bathroom. As I was admiring it, I had a thought that Cherry baseboard
around the
bathroom sure would look great with that. I need less than 20 feet.
I've found several cutters with a decent profile
for the first 2" or so at the top, Anyone ever done anything like this ??
Or did you just buy the molding ? If so, where ?

"C & E" If you're only doing 20' and don't plan on using the cutters again
it's hardly worth the expense of buyng cutter that you probably won't be
using again. Look in the yellow pages for a lumbar yard that does
millwork - call around or look in the online Yellow Pages in some nearby
towns. One of the best ones in my area is really out in the middle of
nowhere and they will cut to your specs. Of course, for 20' you'll pay a
premium because of the setup time they have to incur for any custom job.
You just might find something off-the-rack that you like and can stain a
matching color.


Jim, Buy the bit. After all, aren't we all looking for an excuse to buy
more tools!
After you are all done, you may feel inspired to do more and you will be
happier than buying or having someone else make it for you.

BTW For a baseshoe mounding, you only need to mill the top profile and maybe
a bottom cove or bead. Leave the rest flat.
