My daughter-in-law has some plates she got from her grandmother that her late grandfather framed. She has3 framed and an extra plate that does not have the frame and she's asked me to make a frame to match. Photos of original frame attached. I've never made a round frame before, but I told her I would try. I've been looking for a router molding bit that matches but I cannot find one. I did find one that looks close but it's made for a frame only 3/4" wide. These frames are 1- 3/8" wide. Then there is the flute foot bit that might work; thought it's tad long. Photos of bits below too.
Does anyone know where I can find a bit to make this frame? Or how it might be replicated with several bits? The slopes going into the cove are asymmetrical. Rounding over the edges is easy, but it's the slopes that have be stumped.
I'd also rather cut it laying down on the table rather than trying to spin it vertically through a bit.
