Damn NNTP doesn't send the checkback code and it reposts.

My apologies to any irritated.

He used to until the new tools came out. Look back a few years and you'll see our friend, Tom Silva (or was it Nahm's young pup who left the show?), coping things with a power coper of some sort. I forgot what it was called, but it was neat and fast. It might have been this one

but it hs been too long since I saw that episode.

It wasn't this one.

Change the "Copies" parameter from "2" to "1" ?

Some mouldings are primed/painted at the mill, and therefore sealed. Less likely to warp/cup. If unpainted and left out in the elements and or different climates the board with a fresh exposed side can warp/cup. Mill both sides and things tend to even out.

I think I heard him say on another show that since that material is synthetic it doesn't expand/contract as much plus he can glue the corners so they don't separate...

Bingo ... the foam crown material is much more dimensionally stable than its wood counterpart so effectively doesn't need to be coped as it doesn't open up with seasonal changes in RH.

If anyone is interested, this one has a more modest price..

Not sure about the color, but it was the same color as leftover turkey, chicken, sausage and okra GUMBO, if that helps ... ;)
