Hello,

I'm having trouble coming up with how I most efficiently achieve a door detail for some cabinets I'm building. The cabinets are designed to look as if they are a repurposed antique of Spanish Colonial design circa 1800's. The cabinet pictured below is my inspiration. Because this cabinet can only be seen in a picture and the fact that is is painted prevents me from determining how the detail might have been created. Was it carved just as it appears or was a shallow dado first done and then a round over trim applied? Unless someone out there is an expert in Spanish Colonial furniture from this period I'll likely never know. I plan on a stain finish and I don't want to go the route of placing a trim piece into a dado as the grain direction will be different than that of the panel and give away that it was not carved.

Note: Because the edges of the detail are 90 degrees this can not be done with a router.

If anyone can suggest how to do this I'd appreciate it. Thanks for looking.
