I have been asked by a friend of a friend to make 4 pieces of molding - for a fee. Here is my plan, and I need input on my technique:
The molding is 8/4 oak cut into a roughly semi-circular arc that is about 20 inches across the bottom and 15 inches high. The finished molding will be 1-3/4 inches thick and 1 inch wide. I plan to make a template of the arc first. I will glue up 8/4 oak into a rectangle about 20 by 15, and then rough cut the arc on a band saw. Using a 2 inch long flush trim bit in my router table, I will rout the oak to final size and shape on the router table, using double-sided tape to tape the template to the oak. Finally, I will use a 7/8 inch roundover bit to round the outside edge into a half circle in multiple passes on each side
Any helpful comments appreciated.
