I am looking for a router bit to recreate the baseboards in my 90 yr old house. The picture below is a representation of the side view. Any suggestions for this newbie?
Hi Newbie, :-)
I undertstand your situation. I've worked on many old historical homes and have run into similar problems. Odds are you probably won't find that same router profile any more. Router profiles come and go in style just like clothing fashions. So my best advice to give would be look for one or two router bits that come close to the shape and then finish shaping it with hand planes. I've bought serveral planes over the years to do custom profiles. Good luck to you my friend.
