    How do I recreate these wide ogee router cuts

    This is a top view of a cabinet door. It is made up of several 3 - 4 inch wide boards put side-by-side. It appears to be ogee and cove router bits. Where can I find ogee bits which create these 1 1/2 inch ogee cuts? I've checked out most of the normal sites (Rockler, Eagle, etc...). Can't find anything this large. Are these specialty bits? Thanks.

    For starters, request a catalog from these guys:

    The cuts in your panel were most likely not done with a router but with a moulder of some kind.

    If those were made in any kind of quantity I would imagine they were run on a moulder and applied. For one or two or three fine with router bits jigs and patience but not many.

    Looks kind of like a rosette profile.

    My guess, not made with a router and not easy to recreate with a router. Maybe something from amana in conjunction with a series of core box cuts guided by a router jig whose base angle you can change relative to the face of the molding?

    I see four or five different size profiles on that door. There is nothing consistent about the applied mouldings. Somebody was *playin* with a moulder to get these. If re-creating the door is very important, the profiles can be cut with custom moulding knives but, if this is a commission, tell the patron it will be EXPENSIVE!

    Beauty IS in the eyes of the beholder, and the doors may have intrinsic value, but...well...IMO, perhaps you might try convincing the owner to trash these weird doors and go for some nice raised panels!
