Hi Folks,
I'm making replacement baseboard for my downstairs rooms and I need outside corner pieces to match my (very simple) baseboard profile. The drywall uses 3/4 radius rounded outside corners, which is what made me think of using turned parts. 45 degree chamfering just looks *so* tacky to me.
I have no lathe so I need to ask for assistance from somebody already endowed with the requisite skills & equipment. I live on Vancouver Island so obviously it would be easiest to make a deal with somebody not too far away. The wood choice isn't crucial since it is a paint-grade application; the baseboard itself is decking grade mahogany (oddly, the cheapest option at the time).
The profile is very simple, just a 3/4 bullnose routed at the top of a 6" tall 1" thick plank. From what little turning experience I have I think I'd double-sided-tape four 3" sq bits together, make the cylinder, bore a 1.5" though and add the bullnose. Then again, last time I turned any wood was 22 years ago during an M.Des. course!
Obviously I'd be expecting to pay someone for the work, so it just remains to ask "who wants the job?"
