Hi Folks,
I am about to commence a project where I will install stained oak wainscoting in a 13'x17' "parlor" in our Victorian era house. I plan to build the rails and stiles out 3/4"x 2-1/2" red oak and then cut oak veneer plywood panels to fit the openings. To hold the panels in and hide the panel edges, I intend to mount thin molding strips routed and ripped from the same red oak. To do this routing (which seems like a lot of linear feet to me), I'd like to use one of those Freud Quadra-Cut bits, but I am having trouble figuring out what would be a suitable profile? I have zero experience in designing such things, and so I was curious as to what others may have used successfully in this kind of situation? I just don't know what profile would look "right" or be the proper width? It looks like the profile needs to be about 3/8" high.
Any other thoughts or suggestions on such wainscoting would be appreciated as I am trying hard to get this right.
Here's the Freud profile list.

Thanks in advance,
