Here is something I did when it was a little warmer than 12 degrees in the garage. It is a half Neander half electron project. I roughed out the shape on the tablesaw with a molding head and finished shaping with a Stanley 55.
I thought it would be cheaper to hand reproduce this than have molding cutters made but it took quite a while.

Made this to duplicate a rotted piece on an old victorian. 7' long 7" wide 2" thick.

Looking good Mike. Hope you don't have to make several hundred feet.

Beautiful job Mike, it must give you a great deal of satisfaction to duplicate old style moldings by whatever method that works. Using a 55 to finish it out was just a plus.
