Does anyone have pointers to websites or publications that can provide info on making my own crown moulding? My custom kitchen cabinets came with really nice stained cherry crown molding. But to complete the room, I need about 50' of paint grade molding. The profile is NOT standard and only comes from the cab manufacturer (of course!). Even for their unstained maple, they want an outrageous $12 per lin foot. A local lumber mill can design a cutter and run some for me, but that isn't much cheaper since the cost of the cutter set up is about $250. Theirs works out to about $10 per lin foot.
I just need some $1.50/ft paint grade pine but with a matching profile. I'd like to look into making my own from stock with a router and saw.
Pointers needed. Thanks!!
