These doors were sent in with carvings to be added to the top arches. The molding wasn't attached making my job easy. I designed some Acanthus leaves that would appear to be draping over the molding. It doesn't as the molding simply dives under the first maybe 1/4 inch of the carving. I coped the carving to match the curves of the molding itself then just carved the rest of the leaves.
The initial blocks are routed out from the back so they can lay on both the upper rail/style and the inset panel. After that the moldings that will look like they are under the leaves is coped into place.
