When I worked for a museum, we made many mouldings by hand, but since I moved into the private sector the opportunities don't come around that often. However, recently the right combination of a short run of custom crown and the lack of the right shaper to safely cut the large profiles allowed me to break out the hand tools. The large coves were cut on the table saw (angled cove cuts) and the ovolo portion was roughed out on the saw and finished with planes. It's not a 100% neander method, but I'm still needing to complete this in a timely manner. We have to make some money! The profile should be close enough to match and, if I did it right, once installed no one should ever be able to tell its new from the ground. The profile is about 2" thick and 10" wide. The job required 16' of moulding.
