Best approach and price$$$.
I'm long past due finishing this kitchen project. The PM66 is ready to do its duty for the final push. What's best approach for molding and trim work. I have a 104 year old craftsman style home with Red Oak trim through out. The base boards are 7" with a 2" milled cap and 3/4" quarter round on the bottom, I clearly can't afford to duplicate it but would like to carry a modified theme into the kit. with Red oak detailing.
Could I save a few coins and get a decent product by:
*Was thinking about Todd's library project!
- laminate 1/4 b/d RO plywood onto 3/8 MDF and put a solid oak cap on that?? *
- go straight ply/oak veneer with cap.
- Dumb it down with the newer style trims?
I know some of the newer mill work is a veneer on pine or fir substrate and not bullet proof like some of the old stuff.
Now John, If I had our molding machine up her??
Also with sheet goods is it Kosher to spray or roll on the finish before cutting expecting some touch-up after. Most of the cut edges will be covered.
Haven't started pricing yet which is part of this equation. Time is getting short too.
Thanks in advance.
