I need molding that looks like the old fashioned plaster molding used to
"picture frame" walls. That's the best I know how to describe it. It would
be half round, detailed, and was used to make a plain wall more
interesting.
Something like this

Ideally it would be foam of some sort, rather than plaster.

Anyone know of a source?

Most any Lumber Yard or DIY store should have stuff along that line. It
comes in wood and foam.



I think I didn't explain my attempt at drawing-it's supposed to be the
outline of the finished "picture frame" where the lines are the molding
forming a picture frame, not the outline of the molding itself. The
corners are actually curved, rather than the straight lines I show. The
molding itself is very ornate with vines on it.

I did some Googling after I posted here and there are on line sources.
It's called panel molding and does come in plaster and polyurethane, but I
can't find anything that looks similar, especially the corners.

Lowes and Home Depot sell that type of molding. they even have the
semi-circular corner pieces (look like someone took a bite out of the
corners).
